BIGUN

That is the MINIMUM standard to jump self-supervised. It does not mean that you can go out every 90 days, be on an 8 way and fluently turn ten points. (You may be able to - but the group is going to decide if you can). Let's leave the PA's out of this. Feel free to disagree, but constructively. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

First, I'll apologize about the word "Commitment" and change it to "Consistency." You know that I have a rep and passion for the students and low-timers. SCR/S L/O for I don't know how many Skyfests and at WFFC - mostly out of my own pocket. I'll ask that you re-read what she wrote and what I wrote. If someone can't afford to make a jump. Come out to the DZ and do creeper drills. Build that muscle memory for a specific dive. You know the group she's talking about and we know it exists at each DZ. Become part of that culture looking for success. "If" she wants to be a part of that group; then it's going to require more jump frequency and consistency (or tunnel time) to be part of that group. We all know that you cannot approach those that have the 100+ jump consistency and funnel a dedicated dive and not make everyone cranky for spending their dollars on the expected outcome of that dive for it not to happen. Do that on a consistent basis and one will slowly be moved to the side. You've heard of someone getting "sat out" for having a bad day or even "cut" completely from a bigway. Realistically, if she's at a ten month a year operation; she "could" be making 3 jumps on a Saturday - not come out for another month and to what progress for that group? She needs consistency and they're looking for consistency. There is NOTHING wrong nor did I imply there's anything wrong with being a fun jumper and having fun jumping. But, that's not the group she's talking about. One's expectations must be realistic... not only in this sport, but any sport.

I'll be more blunt. It's nothing more than your annual 30 jump "commitment" to the sport. You're the one that shows up on occasion, jumps infrequently, much less regularly. If you're not going to commit to 100 jumps per annum and spend as much additional time at the DZ; you'll always be that occasional "Recreational jumper" and not a committed "skydiver." Quite frankly, if you're not willing to commit the time and jumps necessary to improve; don't expect them to do a happy dance cause you showed up. Having said that, it's OK to be that person and enjoy yourself and the feeling that jumping gives you. But, to expect more than that is unrealistic.

Guess she should have had a "Scope of Work" document for her cakes that had a clause just above the signature that stated: DISCRIMINATORY MESSAGES: We will not write any "ANTI" messages on our cakes.

It's not what you're using is wrong.. you have a mature mouse. It knows its environment just as you know yours. You put something new in that environment and their little defensive mechanisms of avoidance kick in until that item then becomes a part of their environment long enough. Place several in the same places and leave them alone. Even the pros will tell you to wait a week before they'll come back. Patience.

The reason you're first thread got moved is because the moderators would rather the original thread be maintained in perpetuity with annual memories and condolences. It will also move the thread back to the top. Johnny's original thread can be found here: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2627658#2627658 Your brother is missed my many, Cathy.

The psychology of it is - if you don't tip the 15%, these people can't make a fair living. And, in most cases, the service is a factor of management; not the server. I'm not - not going to tip when I see the wait staff is trying their best and the kitchen is jamming them up. For me; the current methodology allows management to blame the wait staff for poor service; rather than the quality of service to start in the kitchen - and the servers have NO control over that. I ask for three simple things; 1) bring us what we ordered at the same time, so we can all eat together, 2) Cook it the way we asked, and 3) Serve it hot. You want to see the best dining expeerience on the planet; go to ANY of the Shula's Steakhouses. You will not only get those three things, the wait staff is dressed properly and they have stations on the floor where their eyes are constantly scanning.... water glass half full - it gets replaced, not refilled. It is the gold standard of service at any of their locations. This I do not mind paying 20% in a tip. Quite frankly, I'm a fan of the Italian model. Not required, but if the server goes above and beyond - you decide on the tip. That motivates the restauranteur to ensure QoS in the kitchen AND the wait staff to ensure QoS at the table.

POINT 1 - But, we've all been told to tip 15% regardless of the service. So these poor folks can make a living. POINT 1 - But, we've all been told to tip 15% regardless of the service.

You're assuming that because Bigun made a political "poke;" that it was more than that. Was just having a little fun with my liberal friends. I take him about as seriously as I do Mouth Limbaugh.
