Saw this on uk.rec.skydiving.

Now I know this chap as he flew over here, he seemed ok if a little enthuisastic, but after seeing this I'm not sure he's suitable for the job.

Hmm, and that post on uk.rec.skydiving originated from Jersey. Apart from yourself and Alun, how many BPA members (concerned or otherwise) are there in Jersey?

Yes, it was me. I actually think Julian is OK as a person, just dont think he is suitable for this role. I posted anon to try to avoid this part of the discussion.

Hurrah!

Its not the fact he is a Tory (he has been thrown out of the Tory party), its the fact as a pilot he has:

crashed a 206 here and blamed it on the brakes when a very experienced pilot has seen the video and said it's a very obvious ground loop

totalled another 206 in the UK, reasons unknown

been fired from another DZ for landing downwind at 20 knts

Is no longer welcome or banned from 2 or 3 other DZs for his flying/attitude

It'ss his attitude that he knows best and no-one, not even the boss, can tell him what to do, his excuse that he didn't attend the meetings because he was in Jersey when he was here 6 days a month tops.

I just don't feel this is a guy (voluntarily or not) should be dealing with the media on behalf of BPA members.

From theHurrah I guess you've met him Jules


To Julian: If you read this post, I'm sorry, but this is the way I feel, I still think you are OK chap, you just need to rein your ego in and stop thinking you are Captain Fantastic.

He is, we only operate for a few days each month. Tiny Island that we live on not big enough of a market to open every day.
