CrazyRick 0 #3 January 7, 2010 QuoteWhat is the website for that network, or what is the channel the story was on? http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/dpp/news/i-team%3A-skyride-loses-010610 ATLANTA (MyFOX ATLANTA) - A multi-million dollar judgment against your company, followed by a visit by the FOX 5 I-Team isn't a very happy way to start the New Year. FOX 5 I-Team reporter Randy Travis says a Kennesaw company has been in trouble for years. The company is 1-800-Skyride, a skydiving booking company responsible for all the bumper stickers seen stuck on utility poles around Metro Atlanta. Now the company is in bigger trouble somewhere else. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 34 #6 January 7, 2010 Looked pretty well done to me, and pretty damning for Skyride. I see there were a couple of former insiders featured that makes it credible.

Jumpdude 0 #7 January 7, 2010 You need to notice that Randy says at the beginning that they are "Responsible for the Stickers in Atlanta". Pretty significant to Nashville, ya think?Refuse to Lose!!!

Go Kansas! Skyride still affects Kansas, they attempt to harvest Kansas customers and send em to MRVS, or FF Express in Mo. What about Wyoming? I think that they have no Skyride affiliated DZs as well.Experience is what you get when you thought you were going to get something else.

SkydiveJack 1 #11 January 7, 2010 Did anyone notice the user comment at the bottom of the Fox5 webpage? Someone posted the following- “Cary Quattrocchi also lost a domestic abuse case November 30, 2009 in Fulton County courts. Court transcripts were recorded as requested by Mr. Quattrocchi. “ Anybody know what this is about? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alabamaskydiver 0 #23 January 10, 2010 Investigative reporters usually do not take "No" for ans answer. I wonder what the GA states attorney thinks seeing the story showing that the business is still going as usual even after they agreed and signed a court order to change?

IanHarrop 42 #24 January 10, 2010 Quote I bet that lady feels like a heel (if she has ethics and morals) aftre getting caught on camera lying. I bet it makes no difference to her or any other Slyride supporter. A thief will steal from their mother and never think anything of it. Explains why Slyride supporters don't see anything wrong with their business practices. They really don't see anything wrong with what they are doing, hence the reason all Slyride threads are so long. You can't talk someone into growing a conscious. No amount of discussion will ever succeed. Skyride will continue as long as it is profitable. The process they have scales up & down very easily, it costs very little to have an 800 number and you can run a call center with as few as one agent. Keep up the good fight getting DZs to stop accepting their certificates, its the only way to force Slyride to shrink. Maybe one day it will be more trouble to maintain than it is worth. When that happens they will stop, but not before. They think there is nothing wrong with what they do. They are thieves and will steal from their mothers."Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
