I had 2 in 3 jumps because of a retractable pilot chute system.

Maybe you are correct, I don't know. I used to own a Javelin and jumped it for many years, I really liked it. It was a container that I bought that had just a few jumps on it. I have owned a Talon, Vector, and Mirage also. I am now in the market for a new container. I am not leaning towards Javelin simply because of the delivery time. I am sure that I am not the only one that is completely satisfied with the product but not sure I am willing to wait 6 months or more when there are several other really good containers with much quicker delivery times.

I think that with how long the delivery times have been, they could probably have been training people for quite a while and he would not be the new guy on the machine now.

I may guess that where Sunpath is located now in the textile part of the country that finding some good people to sew would be easier than in a lot of other places. Especially since a lot of the textile work has been moved to China or somewhere else overseas. Why not purchase a few more machines and hire a few more people and get them trained? I mean that if the work is there sometimes it's best to get while the gettin is good.

How many years do you let delivery times cause you to lose sales before it becomes cost effective to hire and train people to increase production?

Does anyone know why Sunpath would not increase their production in order to speed up their delivery time for custom containers. It seems that they are losing lots of business because of this.

I had a friend of mine that had put baby powder in his canopy because it had been wet and smelled a little like mildew. It opened with a big puff of smoke and a guy that was on the jump with him opened near him landed and smelled like baby powder.
