WLM INITs are the way to go.  

But WLM inits aren't for all applications / needs.  Many shops (including
ours) have 
a class (or a few classes) set aside for JES2 initiators for jobs that must get 
initiated immediately, regardless of the system utilization being at or near
100%.  
This can be anything, but often, from what I have seen over the years, it
is a job submitted from CICS or MQ that is part of a "transaction".
