pilotdave 0 #26 March 9, 2009 Tandem instructors do it for free and video guys get paid? After trying both, I'd say that's backwards. Or at least the tandem instructors deserve to get paid. Some work at a club should be volunteer work. Hurling yourself out of a plane with another person attached to you and actively trying to kill you isn't one of them... in my opinion. And I've only done tandems with experienced jumpers in front of me... that was bad enough. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TM's at the beach dropzone down the road from me can do 8 loads in a day, that's $650! I work an entire day at a job I dislike for $200 $81 a jump sounds like pretty damn good pay.

JohnMitchell 16 #29 March 11, 2009 Free tandems? No way.It's a lot of work doing tandems. Who's making all the money, then, and why don't they share with the TM's. Utter BS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
