The airlines I've worked for...wanted you to track the holding radial outbound for the paralled entry. Also, this is what the FMS does. (Actually...most of the time I can't figure out what the FMS is doing during holding...even an instrument pilot in training displays more coherence to regiment than does the FMS.) The reason being is to ensure 1) ensure the flight remains in protected airspace and 2) to enhance situational awareness.

When I was a Part 61 CFI...I always taught to parallel the outbound course. I find it acceptable either way.
