Iamthebest_391 0 #1 March 11, 2004 How many of you have seen the survy for Dropzones and what is most immportant. it shows attitude is most immportant to most so here is my question. How would you rate a dropzone that when it gains some bussiness starts running off the good guys that helped build the bussiness over years. the most experienced JM and I that we have is under attack by the owner and his wife for made up reasons. as a customer what would you do keep giving them you money or drive somewhere else. The owner started skydiving at this dropzone and now owns it. those three guys who are under attack taught him how to skydive. just seems like a real jerk off to me. G.

Tink1717 2 #3 March 11, 2004 What, specifically, are they doing to "run off" and "attack" these people?Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

WILDBILLAQR 0 #5 March 11, 2004 Sounds like you have a problem. How long has he been a DZO? They all go though a "break in period" where you never know what they'll do. you may need to train them---------------------------------------------- "Thats not smoke, thats BUCKEYE!!"

skybytch 273 #8 March 11, 2004 Been there, done that. Fastest way to turn a nice guy into an asshole is for him to become a DZO. When I had the same type problem I solved it by taking some time off the sport - there were no other dz's close to me and at the time I couldn't travel.

nightjumps 1 #9 March 11, 2004 You have some good ratings and jump numbers. Please don't allow DZ nonsense to subrogate your own professionalism. As a professional, you would be welcome at most DZs. Moving on and remaining professional will say more about you than lashing out broad generalities in an open forum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iamthebest_391 0 #10 March 11, 2004 Good katch I missed the right button. I was thinking about power ranger! Hey there diverdriver that was not my only mistake. i gave myself a AID's Instructor rating instead of my "slack line". Me and computers. G. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iamthebest_391 0 #12 March 11, 2004 Talking bad about them behind there backs. Telling some students they should not listen to there method of doing things. just seems like pure bull and they were friends in hte past. I thought the poll on attitude pointed right at these guys Im going to do a few tandems at another dropzone and see if things settle down. sure hope they do. G.
