While I'm against loaning to family or friends, cosigning may be acceptable in some cases.

No. If you want to loan them money do it at 0 interest or don't do it. Making money off friends and family is just weird. If you want to loan a friend or family member money, do it without the expectation of ever getting it back. Otherwise--chances are--friendships and family-ties will be weathered or broken. Great point. +1. Can I borrow $10k? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Los Angles International (aka LAX)... most likely. Depends where you're coming from? Ontario (ONT) is a much easier airport to go to for elsinore. Way closer, easier drive, simpler to navigate. LAX is an option but if you can find a comparable fare to ONT, it'll be much easier. Lots of people fly in there so it might be easier to share a ride, too. San Diego is also an option though might be a longer drive.

We'll make Fitzgerald Prairie East.

That was taken somewhat out of context, sir. Perhaps I should have used the word "many" instead of "most". Or perhaps I should have qualified that by saying "the ones that whine". I have heard DZO's and S&TA's whine about why USPA doesn't do something, when the power to make a decision is right there in their hands, and they won't use it. Why won't they use it? Apologies, but it was the first line of your reply... As for why, why not ask them their reasons....

Couldn't possibly be because they believe in free will or other similar reason. Must be cuz they're yellow. If that's truly how members on the USPA board feel about drop zones... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

First. That was a great Seinfeld parody. Second. Maybe nothing is exactly what we need the gov't to do now. Or maybe less than nothing, such as canning programs, repealing inconsistent regulations and subsidies and let capitalism function like it's supposed to again. A large part of the mess we're in is because of too much gov't intervention. You really think more is the answer? I'd vote for a candidate that said they'd do nothing.

I'd be fine with this.

Not if it is only a Minor Change ( and ALL changes are Minor Changes ) Take a look at the TSO label on a brand new Micron, it says TSO C23b because that was the standard when they received their TSO authorization ( back in '74 IIRC ). It is possible to make changes ( via the Minor Change route ) to the TSO label. But why???? So, have I confused you even more? JerryBaumchen No. You confirmed what I suspected of TSO's.

Usually the right simple solution is not the easy one. Agreed these aren't good solutions because the above examples have not been reduced to their base elements. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

The TSOs on rigs themselves are updated with the rig changes, right? It's just the "official" name that may not change? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

You can't even really do that. You can try to reduce the odds, the same as education does. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Wrong question.. I'm a Keynesian. Govt should pay down debt in the good times, and spend in the bad times. Trouble is, we kept borrowing in the good times and putting the money in the pockets of the already wealthy. So what do you think we should do in this case?

200ish jumps and an almost 1.5 loading on a Katana? You're the poster boy for the people who want this type of BSR. I'll make a few assumptions about you: 1. You do lots of jumps, most of them focusing on canopy flight. 2. You are getting canopy coaching. Even with that, you're taking a much bigger risk than someone with your jump numbers loading at 1.1 to 1.2 on a more docile wing. You stand a much higher chance of getting badly injured or killed. There are some things you can do in addition to bring the risk down minimally more (slow flight, braked approaches, etc.) but it's still an extremely high level of risk. That said, if you truly understand and accept that risk, I'm of the opinion you should be allowed to jump it at any DZ unless their own DZO/S&TA has stricter rules. Did I load that high at that jump #? No. Do I think it's a good idea? No. Do I feel a central organization has the right to tell you what DZOs can and can't do in this case? No. Do I feel the DZOs have a right to impose their own restrictions? Yes. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

That's a scary thought. While it is an option, I'd call it more of a gamble instead of a responsible choice. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
