bbarnhouse 0 #1 August 19, 2005 First off thank you Bill for your notes. As to the following: QuoteBryan Burke was running things for the AZ fleet at Rantoul. His function was planes. Deuce's following statement is correct. QuoteThat's the planes, right? That's a different discussion. QuoteAt Eloy, Burke can kick you off the DZ. Indeed but in the entire history of Skydive Arizona, there are only 2 times this has happened. One was this last Holiday Boogie. This number may increase if people do not respect the "No fly" zone over the wind tunnel. As I said in another thread there is a difference between having been "Burked" and "Pixied". Bryan points out the error in people's judgement in a such a way that when he delivers a spanking, people believe that they deserved it.(AND they do) I on the other hand, am not as diplomatic. My question is generally; "Umm can you tell me what you were thinking?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, that's still a lot better than "Do you think you can pull your head out of your @ss BEFORE you land, next time?" Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce 1 #4 August 19, 2005 QuoteMy question is generally; "Umm can you tell me what you were thinking?" I only got Burked once, and wholly deserved it. That was the question he asked me, and when I answered him he paused, thought about it a moment, and replied "So that's what we'll put on your tombstone, then?" At Herc Boogie they had a really great system. They had safety officers at both landing areas, and people who did questionable things had thier wristband numbers taken down, and then when they manifested, their names appeared on the manifest as having been warned. -Yeah, here's a copy of the screens that were all over. Not only did it clearly warn the offender, it warned everybody else about the presence of an offender on their load. If I remember correctly, you were able to get one warning a day. If you made a second offense, they just cut your wristband off and you were done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking that good ol' Jack Gramley would have like it alot too. Think Perris would adopt it? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattjw916 2 #6 August 23, 2005 that's awesome... but I know someone would do something stupid on purpose just to get their name on the list NSCR-2376, SCR-15080 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking that good ol' Jack Gramley would have like it alot too. Think Perris would adopt it? ltdiver I don't know. I'd like to think so. Perris preferred landing area is so small that when folks get crossed up it's really scary. As to getting your name on it twice, it's not worth a ticket and hassle of getting to Sweden from the US. Those were boogie rules. I would imagine if somebody managed to get banned from a local DZ, it would be just as painful. The thrill of being an ass under canopy would lose it's thrill really quick, at a local DZ, I think. Telling everybody on board that there's a potential asshat under canopy would reduce ass-hatness, I think. A tradition of asking "Who the FUCK is "whoever (JP Kelly in this case") and having them raise their hand and then have the whole plane chant 'DON'T BE AN ASS!" might reduce under canopy and auger in injuries. Kate Cooper managed to get on that poop list at Herc too. I was in some pretty magnificent company, but all of us took the time to find out what had caused the worry and stopped doing it. Yeah, Lori, I think Perris could do it. I think the judgement of Dan BC, and several other qualified examiners making violations very public would be a good thing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
