yoink 321 #426 June 10, 2015 MakeItHappen****** Great Example..... http://s7.photobucket.com/user/markovw123/media/IMG_2577_zpsroyrfjkb.jpg.html http://s7.photobucket.com/user/markovw123/media/IMG_2578_zpsqfg3mugn.jpg.html http://s7.photobucket.com/user/markovw123/media/IMG_2579_zpsllulnbts.jpg.html When were these taken? If they were taken prior to the incident, they're kinda pointless. We know he was doing it... if they were taken since then it's a whole 'nother thing. It's proof that he doesn't give a shit and hasn't learned. September 18, 2013 6:09 PM no time zone noted . Thanks. I'd hope that he wasn't still pulling this stuff!

Why don't you call Sherry and tell her that your self, instead of parroting what everyone else has said in this silly thread. Rich screwed up. Have none of us ever screwed up? I've seen some shanagans, some real FUS. (At this point and time in this thread, and don't get me wrong I could care less one way or the other) You guys are just "Beating a dead horse" simple as that.

I think it's reasonable to continue to talk about whether it's proper for Rich to continue serving as chair of the S&T committee at this late date. He could have been removed, or he could have voluntarily stood down from the position. Neither has occurred. He's certainly aware of this discussion. As long as he holds the position it's an ongoing issue that does not get stale. Thus, it's appropriate to continue to discuss and debate. The passage of time itself while maintaining the status quo makes it timely today. So it's not a dead horse, it's a live one. Let people on all sides of the debate have their say.

BASE1375 0 #436 June 16, 2015 Why hasn't there been an accident report yet? Its been over 16 months since the accident occurred and there is still yet a report to be made.10,000 jumps, with a log for every single jump. Unlike some USPA National Directors with 14,750 Fake jumps with the flying skills to prove they are fake jumps.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,989 #439 June 16, 2015 >I am not aware of the USPA doing incident reports on non-fatals on a regular basis. They're not.

And yes it can change by us voting, and holding people accountable for their actions, by us the people they are supposed to serve when they make a mistake.

jimjumper 25 #441 June 17, 2015 I seem to recall that prior to the last elections (when Rich was elected) that there was a Forum section for questions and answers by candidates. Somehow I don't think Rich would participate this time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get where you're coming from, but to my eyes, someone in a position of authority and respect fucked up in the worst way possible. They hit a spectator while grandstanding... Taking their medicine would involve saying 'mea culpa' and accepting some form of discipline. That's what I've not seen, either voluntarily, or enforced.

jimjumper 25 #444 July 31, 2015 I heard a rumor that at the recent summer BOD meeting that Rich Winstock tendered his resignation as Chairman of the Safety and Training committee and that this time Sherry Butcher accepted it. From what I was told Tom Noonan was appointed as his replacement as Chairman. I would have thought this would have been forgotten by now but it looks like something finally happened to make the leadership act. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSE 5 #446 August 2, 2015 jimjumperI heard a rumor that at the recent summer BOD meeting that Rich Winstock tendered his resignation as Chairman of the Safety and Training committee and that this time Sherry Butcher accepted it. From what I was told Tom Noonan was appointed as his replacement as Chairman. I would have thought this would have been forgotten by now but it looks like something finally happened to make the leadership act. The "leadership didn't act;" Mr. Winstock resigned. The only action Leadership took, was that his resignation was accepted. It's unfortunate that what occurred was mis-represented by someone desperate to buy his way onto the BOD. Politics suck, and that's truly what this situation boiled down to. Sadly, the politics don't end with his resignation, and our BOD will likely be much poorer for it come this next election. It's like "Game of Thrones" up in there. Either way, Winstock is off the Chairmanship (by his own choice), and that should make folks happy enough.
