Are these true?

...are you talking about a certain 4-way team ....

In their defense - it's not always their fault (lots of small groups) and if it is, and you ask them nicely to shorten it up a bit, they usually do.

I remember being on the Westwind with you and you telling them to get the hell going. Hehehe......I just know that they do that a lot from that experience and from other 4-way teams. However, I think they ALL do that.

"I"d ahve to say I like them all except #3. Dont cut your hair?? God, I'm not a fan of long, long hair. There IS a limit."
I'll definitely agree with that one. It is SO annoying when you have to hold their hair back when they are chasing them swallows

Yeah, I don't know where all this "Men hate cats" bullshit comes from. I've known maybe two men who didn't like cats. I have a cat named Bongo who likes to tear through my apartment for no reason at all, and will gently bite your arm or bat at your feet if you're not playing with him enough.
The only thing I'd add to the list is the whole jewelry thing. WTF should I spend the price of a complete rig + Cypres on a totally useless yellowish ring with a lump of glass-like substance on it? Also I hear Deboers & others are stockpiling diamonds to keep the price up. Plus the miners in Africa get paid shit.

For the most part I agree with that. I like jewelry, but I would never expect anyone to spend a ton of money on it. I'm more of an emerald girl instead of diamonds anyway.;)

Actually.... no. We can't call go around. We have the option of getting out or riding the plane down. Thats it out of the Casa. The rate of fuel burn is too great to do multiple passes is what we were told.


That's a total BS excuse.. The CASA fuel flows are nothing if the pilots know what the hell they're doing......especially for the extra few minutes it takes to do a long, slow go-around.. Hell, they can even just do a 180 and let the rest of the people out on a downwind jumprun.. Or they can fly a circular jumprun around the perimeter of the DZ.. There are many things that can be done.. Sounds like your DZO(I'm assuming that's who made the policy) is more interested in the bottom line than safety..

Nahhh.. they'll do go arounds, they just don't like Phreezone ;)
It's not a policy, it's just sorta discouraged for fear that people will get go-around happy, and call go arounds all the time. But if it's really needed, the pilots are more than willing to do it.

Geez, Perris pilots initiate go-rounds. I have been learning all about the little green light, see, and the pilot will shut it off. I'm learning to check, get to the door, check again, and then go. I have forgotten once or twice, but have been pulled back by friends on the load (thank god for them.).
Also, on my first solo, the pilot told me he was gonna do a go-round, as I was last off the plane. That plane was so big sitting there by myself, waiting for the whole go-round.
Perris pilot Rob is good.......

Yeah, I got that feeling.... Lets see
1). Pinned to the CASA roof on a Raft dive I organized....
2). Dropped Miles out when they typed the wrong spot into the GPS....
3) Been used as a Wind-tester on a few loads this year.....
4) Been 0-G'd off the Gate on a Jet Pass.....on accident
5) Been on 3 Helen Keller spotted loads.....Green Light, wait... wait...wait.... wait... ok, take grips.... damn......
6) And the list continues.....
A good thing is that that Pilots said they were sorry each time it happened......
At least I don't let Jon (Cajan) spot for me :)A rainy day at the DZ is better then a Sunny day at work
