Reusch - I have an unrelated offline question for you... drop me a line if you would.
Thanks,

I have no doubt you are a knowledgeable rigger and have put a lot of effort into learning your craft. But I think you would have trouble putting together a test matrix or a test plan to certify a new harness/container design under TSO-C23d.
To make it even simpler, put together a list of required drops/jumps indicating which ones can be piggybacked and which ones must be stand-alone test. We will forget all the required documentation necessary.
Again, this is not meant to be a slam against you or any other rigger. The fact is very few riggers get the chance to be involved in this type of rigging.

It amazing it how much changed from the original question.
To TSO equiptment its a large process, even doing drop test for compativility. But all takes a process and when you know the process is not hard.

You are receiving responses to your original statement. Nothing has changed.
And no one has said that it is hard. Rigging is not rocket science. And you are right, if you know the process it is not that difficult. What is difficult is being in a position to learn what that process is. I know of nowhere you can go and take a class or any book you can read.
And to add to the confusion, the process can be interpreted differently at different MIDO/MISO’S around the country. (you do know what a MIDO is?)
Maybe you think that all riggers should know this information and maybe they should. But as I said before, I would be surprised if one in ten has been exposed to it. If you have been involved in a TSO program in the 4 years you have been in the sport you are a lucky rigger.

I don't think Pablito was even referring to the TSO process when he responded. I believe that the statement that you quoted was him responding to the original question (ie, how do you know when a reserve needs to be repacked). Isn't Pablito also the rigger in charge of RWS's loft (so I'm assuming he REALLY knows his stuff anyway).
