tspillers 0 #27 October 7, 2004 If you could manage 1000 tandems in a year, that is about $30,000. If you could pack them too, another $10,000. Good luck with that though. If I were able to do that (DZ busy enough, could keep the staff busy enough, etc.), I think that just might burn me out... That is a lot of tandems. One year I did over 300 tandems between Memorial Day and Labor Day. I was starting to get some burnout, but I think it was due to the manager more than the tandems. It was also a resort town, so I only had a repeat tandem 2 or 3 times the whole summer. I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.

tspillers 0 #49 October 8, 2004 We may not have pics on this. We are talking about doing a clear and pull from altitude. On her first jump over the east coast (Ocean City), at sunset, she said she didn't like freefall. She changed her mind about that on her second jump, at Skyfest. I can't imagine why.
