Rockie, the Agenda is set by the Debtors. Any recognized party can also put something on the Agenda through the debtors.
The longness or shortness of the hearing is based on the agenda.
It's the agenda that also tells parties who has to show up in court, dial-in, etc.
Example, while the FDIC may have dialed into this one, there wasn't anything on the agenda requiring their input... so they didn't have to show up or even dial in if they didn't want to.
The judge scheduled the Omnibus hearing MONTHS in advance, and of course, no clue on how long or short it would run.
Any frustration -- take it out on the agenda. Or, the Debtors ;) who set the agenda. But keep in mind, if another party wanted something added to the agenda, they could have (of course, with good legal reason)
