Single AFF-I economics

[livendive 8]

I'm just trying to get a rough idea of what consititutes "industry standard" in the US for AFF jumps. I called a big DZ last week and was amazed at their price versus my price. We rarely do two instructor AFF jumps here, so I'm not too worried about that. If you guys could pipe in with what your DZ charges for a single Instructor AFF jump and maybe what the instructor is paid for that jump too, that would be much appreciated.

Do you require students to do tandems before doing a single JM AFF? That would factor into the overall price.

No. I require 5 IAD jumps, 1 clear and pull (under IAD-I supervision), then 4 AFF jumps before they can do solos/coach jumps.

That sounds like a nice progression
