Yes and no. One of my numbers worked, the other didn't. Guess thepoint is, if your number is found, you will get a link to a map. But if you have a street address, you can get a map, anywho, so wtf's the big deal? Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Too Many hours spent waiting on aircraft:1:0 Between various aircraft not able to show and problems with a/c on hand, the waiting was unusual yesterday. Still had a great day, we got all the students and tourists up and they were all aptient and understanding. Thanks to the fine folk from Titusville that came up with the Caravan to give us a hand.

Dunno about the government, but I watched (on CNN) a very large statue of SH being toppled in the center of Baghdad this morning, by Marines helped by a large number of Iraqi volunteers. John, let's put that in its correct context. I watched Iraqis try to topple that statue with a rope and a single sledge hammer for well over an hour before the Marines even showed at the square. They stood around and watched until their help was requested by the Iraqis. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

He (the character) wasn't being tortured - he was being trained/conditioned to make the rooftop tandem landing that was central to the plot. As an aside here, let me fill everyone in (in case you did not see this): Michael Jeter. who played Leedy in DropZone and the asst. coach in Evening Shade, died last week at his home in California. He was 50. Mr. Jeter was found by his life partner, Mr. Sean Blue, on Sunday at his Hollywood Hills home, the Los Angeles Times reported. Jeter was HIV-positive and reportedly in good health. An autopsy has been scheduled to determine the cause of death. Blue Skies, Michael. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Does your DZ have a drug testing policy for Staff members?
jceman replied to WFFC's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Agreed. I believe that people just don't want to submit to the test under the 'invasion of privacy' guise. The assumption is that if they're asked to submit to a test and they refuse, they must be on something. Gee Michael, why don't you just shoot yourself in the foot and be done with it? You just proved my point! Instead of "Innocent until Proven Guilty", your statement is "Guilty Until Proven Innocent". Sugar coat it any way you want, it still tastes like shit. My word that I am not on anything should be good enough. Unless you have cause to suspect otherwise, do not ask me to submit to a drug screen; if I refuse (thereby going against my employment agreement), fire my ass, but when I pass the drug screen, what are you going to do to repair the breech of trust you just exhibited? Note: the "you" used above is a generic term, not directed at the esteemed WFFC. I see no reason to break Rule #1 even though I feel strongly about the issue.

Drug testing for DZ Instructors/TMs/Pilots
jceman replied to diverdriver's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Drug testing is not just to catch people using but is also a deterent. It was posted here or one of the other 3 threads that pilots (who have been tested for awhile now) only test positive 1% of the time. Yet, as we know deterence can have a tremendous effect on a populous's actions. It's 1% I believe because there is a program. And taking out that 1% is a good thing to keep "weeding" out the weak ones. It's just one tool of many to try and keep the transportation industry "clean". Won't keep it all out. But it would be worse (and it was worse at one time) than it is now. Chris, you've apparently missed something. In my first post on this thread, I stated that I was against drug testing except when it came to public safety. (It wasn't in those exact words, but that was my intent.) I'll not argue with your points regarding pilots or instructors, but it seemed to me that the thread had drifted towards ordinary folks in ordinary jobs. It is in this context that my remarks were made, and I won't back down. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them? -

Drug testing for DZ Instructors/TMs/Pilots
jceman replied to diverdriver's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Just random thoughts but try these: 1. more sick time 2. degraded performance (alcohol issues too) I can't think of others right now, but this should get it started. Companies base a lot of their data on stats. If it's determined that the non substance abuser has an average of 3.2 sick days per year, and the average substance abuser has 3.9, that's an additional expense to the company that they may not want bear. If you haven't had the chance to watch the movie Gattica (sp?). That is the lamest arguement I have heard yet. If there is a performance problem, I have no problem with asking someone to take a test as part of a problem identification or rehab. That is a standard condition of employment at many firms. Blanket drug testing is simply a CYA thing for some companies and a PR effort for others. It offers nothing for the individuals involved, on the contrary it conveys the message that the individual is not to be trusted until he has passed some ordeal. There are a lot of justifications given for drug screening but I maintain that in the absence of cause it is window dressing, pure and simple and is insulting to the employee or job applicant.

Drug testing for DZ Instructors/TMs/Pilots
jceman replied to diverdriver's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Agreed, but employers have the right to know if their employess have issues with substances that have been listed as illegal. Why? If no one else's safety is being compromised, what business does any company have knowing anything about anything their employees do when not at work? That attitude smacks of Big Brother and I am extremely disappointed at anyone who champions it. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Lightweight fancy-dancing sky flyer! I need one more donation to reach the 10-gallon mark. I have always thought it was the least I could do to help others. Dang I'm noble. Seriously, I will be looking for a place to make that donation today. Join us, folk; even if it isn't needed by our men and women in Iraq, you might just help save one of your neighbors, friends or family member. It only stings for a minute. Note: This is a repost as I did not notice until now that my "10-gallon" was missing a zero in the original. Kind of loses the effect without it!] Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Absolutely have to agree withyou here bill. I saw the video of this encounter just a few minutes ago. The Iraqis in the rear were mad and confrontational, but between the actions of our troops as well as the clerics, it seemd their anger subsided and smiles broke out as they saw what was going on. The talking heads on CNN were praising the troop commander for his instructions and I have to join them. This is indeed the sort of thing that can go a long way to building needed bridges.
