QuoteBut you don't understand. The jump prices increased $1 to pay for an Otter. But we have no Otter yet we're now stuck with higher jump tickets and this DZ makes tons on $$$ on tandems and AFF students.
I'll never understand why jumpers expect students to subsidize their jumps. It doesn't matter how much the dzo makes on students. If skydivers don't pay their own way more dz's will adopt the same attitude as Skydive Las Vegas.

That $1 is now probally paying for the increased fuel cost, increased insurance and everything else that goes with flying. Rantoul had $1 more jumps then last year due to the same reasons.

Having had a long discussion with SDLV a while back, it's more than that. Make sure all the facts are in before passing judgement.

Woohoo! Thanks Phil and Deb!
People can give SDLV shit, hell, I do that sometimes too, BUT they did do something very good for our sport.
The lawsuit they went through set a standard that other lawyers will look at before they consider to persue a lawsuit for a client against a DZ. That really validates the industries' practice of release of liability forms in a court of law and sets the standard that could otherwise cripple our industry.

The fact is tht most DZO's are businessmen. They need to turn a profit or they will go out of business. If one area of their business is not profitable they will be forced to concentrate on an area that is. This is normal business practice. I wish jumps from 20k were $5 but that isn't going to happen. If I have to pay an extra buck to jump at a safe dz with the usual amenities, so be it.

How do you converse with a drop zone?

Is the complaint against SDLV that you must have been trained there to do a "fun" jump?
People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

QuoteI just love the way the DZ can gouge their fun jumpers.
stop whining or go home.

Hey, not to change the subject...but getting the Super Otter is really great news for my home DZ. Is it true that it can get you to altitude in 10 minutes (<13,500)? I can hardly wait!!!

Now would you belive that I thought about editing the post to dispell this question? Well, in answer to your question, by phone of course.

it takes a little longer than that.
Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
