CSpenceFLY 1 #101 January 17, 2008 QuoteQuoteQuoteI think it's time for a "Take Back the USPA" movement... This is a "devil's advocate" response. Don't shoot the messenger. I offer this because there's a lot of lynch-mob type talk going on, and nobody seems to be considering what may be the other side of the argument. Let's say that Jan's public comments were the cause of USPA losing four counts on the Skyride lawsuit, which cost the organization (that's us) a lot of money (that's ours). So, what's wrong, then, with ousting the person that caused that loss? Wouldn't this be just like any other business getting rid of an executive whose poor performance has caused business problems? If you were the holder of Enron stock which became worthless because of executive malfeasance, then I'd bet that you would be ready to terminate and hold accountable those executives. So how come everyone here seems to want to do the opposite with Jan, and save the BOD member who caused the financial loss to USPA? Okay, I'm done being the devil's advocate now. Please don't shoot me. These are not my personal feelings. But I think the question needs to be asked. Devils advocate to your devils advocate. How are her public statements any different than anyone elses? Edit: My "Take Back the USPA" sentiments are not based on this incident, as we don't have any information about this incident. In fact they are based on several YEARS of ineffective representation by several long term members of the board, and extremely suspect behavior by the same members of the board to further their own gains, and protect their network. I agree. My feelings are not tied to just one issue. On the issue with Jan, I don't want her outed necause she was speaking for me. If they are going to throw people out for their opinion then I need to be right next to Jan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSE 5 #103 January 17, 2008 Quote Quote What evidence is there that Glenn (or anyone else) mishandled the Skyride issue? because we lost. Quote If you hold Glenn responsible as president of the executive committee, then you must also hold Jay, B.J., Jan, Sherry, Scott, Lee accountable as well. okay then, we will hold them all accountable. Quote "what do you mean 'we,' white man?" I dont' hold them accountable. I've been on the losing side of lawsuits, and am educated enough to understand that losing isn't always a loss. Quote The president doesn't have absolute authority. You might want to tell some presidents that. Quote I shouldn't need to. That's *exactly* what the BOD is supposed to do. It's called "democracy." Have you ever been to a USPA board meeting? Quote yes, I have. I fail to see how your question relates to Jan's impeachment being an agenda item. FWIW, based on what I've been told and personally experienced, I'm in support of Jan and her actions until presented with contrary information. I don't see the point in being outraged just yet, because so far, all I hear is the sound of one hand clapping. And given that it takes two-thirds of the board to make the action complete...I don't share your opinion that the board is made up of dummies. I happen to think that at least a couple of them are very fine, integrous people, and I have faith that they'll do the right thing based on facts in evidence as presented by both sides of an argument. judy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really disagree with this. There's no law requiring USPA membership to skydive and I've known large DZs to not be USPA members. It didn't hurt their business one bit. Frankly any group of people could start a new org, get the insurance set up, focus more on current DZ/skydiving needs and start to flip dropzones away from USPA if they really are doing such a crappy job.

While the terms that we settled on are unknown, It is known that the BOD and General Membership had absolutely NO SAY in the decision to settle.

But I don’t see their names on the agenda for impeachment. QuoteSo how come everyone here seems to want to do the opposite with Jan, and save the BOD member who caused the financial loss to USPA? Jan spoke for MANY of us. Her outspoken stance on Skyride was a vocalization of what a LARGE portion of the general membership felt. We didn’t Loose, We settled. Just because a bunch of chicken shit lawyers decided it would be cheaper to settle than it would be to stand up for what is right doesn’t mean that Kicking a Lying, Cheating, Thieving organization such as Skyride (And I will gladly back these accusation up with sworn statements from Skyride victims) out of the USPA was not the right thing to do.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skydived19006 4 #112 January 17, 2008 Quote Whoever got USPA into the lawsuit situation (and USPA's actions regarding Skyride were pretty indefensable from an anti-trust stance), really should be accountable for it. Jan Meyer may have been the driving force behind the removal of Individual, and Group Memberships, but it is a "Board of Directors" not a Kingdom, were it a Kingdom Glen Bangs would have to be considered the Anointed. If impeachment is how “we're” going to "hold people responsible" everyone who voted to remove the memberships should be facing impeachment. I'd suggest as well that if one is "convicted", all should be convicted. Then I'd suppose (I don't know the bylaws well enough) King Glen I is afforded the privilege of appointing replacements. Also, as I understand Glen Bangs is the only member of the BOD privileged to the detales of the “Skyride settlement”, and he has chosen not to share this information with the rest of the BOD. My regional director has related to me that there are often items/issues to which he as a member of the BOD is not privileged. Maybe it is a Kingdom? To my knowledge, Jan’s primary “infraction” is that she’s willing to talk with, and discuss issues with the lowly peasants (aka members), the nerve!!! I did write my opinions to the BOD, cc to my RD, and cc to a drop zone owners email list. In that letter, I informed that If Ms. Meyer is removed from “OUR” BOD, I will remove my drop zone from the list of USPA Group Members, and make it known that Individual Membership is no longer required at my DZ.
