FanOfFalling 0 #2 April 13, 2012 A local DZO declares a vagina is a primary qualification. The declaration continues, men can do the job mostly, but don't have the same follow through on it, and it's the follow through that's important. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmytavino 16 #8 April 13, 2012 patience ability to multi task considerate attitude to New clientele AND old timers willingness to put in long hours working,, while everyone else around is Playing.Extensive knowledge and understanding of aircraft, of pilots needs, and of jumpers needs... ( NOT wants ) . ... and based on YOUR posts about the downsize issue and what appears to BE, an Entitlement attitude... and a lack of consideration to many, who simply tried to "advise you".... i'd say.... NOT you...i don't care WHO the DZO is...... The only thing worse than a "know -it -all KID " is a know it all kid who doesn't realize what he (or she) DOESN'T know... imho jmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #9 April 13, 2012 QuoteWhat are your "personal" opinions on what qualifications a manifesto should have? Legally, mentally, attitude etc.. How is your manifesto? Pros & Cons? Love? Hate? The word you want is "manifester", not "manifesto". A manifester is one who manifests, which is what they do at the drop zone, assigning jumpers to aircraft. A manifesto is a written statement announcing someone's ideas and intentions, like "The Communist Manifesto". Manifesters are not communists, although sometimes it seems that way.

It's even worse at my DZ... the manifester is a Republican! If you type "manifester" into MS Word, spell check changes it to "manifesto", but, thank you Mr. Thesarus Nazi....

demoknite 0 #11 April 14, 2012 Depends on the size of the DZ. Manifest is usually the "face" of the DZ lot of times. They might sell tickets or do equipment checks for visiting jumpers. They might only assign jumpers. Must be a chick and attractive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlyKid 0 #16 April 19, 2012 This is not because i am interested in becoming a manifesto, I am just curious how my dropzone's manifesto is different from other dropzone's, and what trait/s you find to be helpful for all jumpers that a manifesto might have?
