Indeed. Being a pilot that hangs around jumpers(and drops them out), may give me an advantage with the local dz owner, as how I already work for them.

Hmm...I am a commercially rated instructor pilot, have 6 yrs + in the sport, was trained by halo/haho jump master instructor, just need the number of jumps with the aforementioned training. What I should have prefaced my info with is that in the pilot side there are programs available where in a person can go from no flight time at all to instructor within a minimal time frame.

Is any one aware of a program that can get a jumper from an A rating to instructor/ tandem in a short period of time?
