NWFlyer 2 #8 April 23, 2012 Quote so you register for 40 bucks and get a shirt??? So I guess you'll be bowling that weekend instead? I'm sure you'll have more fun than the folks who are enjoying a specialty aircraft, big-name organizers, and beer (none of which are free, last I checked)."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

So your theory is that they do not make enough money filling the plane to pay off the plane contract for the weekend that they need to charge more money...and that they need to pay experienced organizers to jump at their dropzone that otherwise wouldnt come just for fun! And the rest of my 40 bucks that hasnt been used on the above will be spent on alcohol which I dont drink. I hope your theory is not right and they are offering some free jumps or something...for their sake Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #10 April 23, 2012 Stick around the sport a while longer and I think you'll find that's about the going rate for a boogie with specialty aircraft and name organizers. Go or don't go, but don't try to make these guys out to be evil for ensuring they cover their costs (btw, those ferry fees and organizer costs are pretty much fixed even if it rains all weekend)."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

It just is a laugh to be asked to pay money before you're asked to pay money. Then pay money. Pay money. Pay money. haha. Quote Quote and that they need to pay experienced organizers to jump at their dropzone that otherwise wouldnt come just for fun! You're so cute!!!!!!! hehe it was her thought that they had to recoup the organizer fees (organizer fees what is this a motivational lecture we're going to???) AND we get to drink free beer!?
