Thanatos340 1 #2 May 12, 2005 Will you be able to Just pay for Slots if you dont make the break-even number of Jumps? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelel01 1 #3 May 12, 2005 Probably not after the fact. But you should definitely be able to up front. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ianmdrennan 2 #4 May 12, 2005 QuoteWill you be able to Just pay for Slots if you dont make the break-even number of Jumps? Honestly I don't know. I will confirm this weekend what the restrictions are and get back to you. That aside, besides weather, there should be no reason a jumper can't do much better than break even. The plane is a capable of around 40-45 loads (14 people) a day. Blues, IanPerformance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelel01 1 #5 May 12, 2005 QuoteThat aside, besides weather, there should be no reason a jumper can't do much better than break even. Unless they happen to be an extraordinarily slow packer. Not that I know anyone who fits that description. I think I'll have to go jump-by-jump as usual. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #6 May 12, 2005 When Mike Mullins had his $99 boogies, if anybody made fewer jumps than $99 would have covered at the rate of $16 per jump, they got refunded the balance. I'm sure this is standard practice everywhere... But, always verify this anyway..."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skinnyshrek 0 #9 May 12, 2005 I think dan was being sarcastic in regards to Billy referrinbg to Mike Mullins. you know Dan doesn't really jump just hangs out and lurks boogie threads....http://www.skydivethefarm.com do you realize that when you critisize people you dont know over the internet, you become part of a growing society of twats? ARE YOU ONE OF THEM? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ianmdrennan 2 #10 May 12, 2005 Come on Dan, come out and prove him wrong Performance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lister55 0 #11 May 13, 2005 The way I have seen it run before is, if the weather is good and you dont make enough jumps to cover the boogie then no refund. This is because of what Ian said. There really is no reason not to break even. But if the boogie gets overbooked or the weather gets bad, then refunds will be made. Again you should always verify this, but I have seen it done this way in the past. I have seen people walk away from this paying $8.00 jumps in the end.

bob.dino 1 #13 May 13, 2005 QuoteRig: 1 - Must be packed to manifest Not that I'm even on the same continent, but does this mean that you're not allowed have multiple rigs and go back to back? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ianmdrennan 2 #14 May 13, 2005 Quotebut does this mean that you're not allowed have multiple rigs and go back to back? Correct. It's to keep someone from hogging all the loads. It's a pretty standard thing with deals like this. Blues! IanPerformance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skyflyer1 0 #20 May 17, 2005 FYI From an email after having some engine difficulties last weekend from SDA: Upcoming Due to the uncertainty with our aircraft we are postponing the all you can jump weekend. Rest assured, we will have a turbine aircraft here. Looks like it's going to be a Grand Caravan. But we can't afford an all you can jump with someone else's plane. Thanks in advance for your understanding. Jonathan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks in advance for your understanding. Jonathan i talked to trey on the phone yesterday and he said this may happen.... he babies that airplane so much, when it looses 1 H.P. he gets it overhauled. and well while it is gettin overhauled the rental engine is givin them problems... well im guessin a faster climb to altitude when they get there engine back.
