Your "advanced age"? Now I know you're younger than I am so does that make me ancient? The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

I feel sorry for those who went, this morning definitely isn't a good one. It looks like it will start breaking up this afternoon, might be able to get in some hop 'n pops but that may be the extent of it today. It's supposed to be clear tomorrow so you'll be able to get some jumps in tomorrow before everyone starts heading home again. Going to be chilly tonight (low around 40) so dress warm for any early morning jumps (be careful with those hangover jumps!). The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers... -
I was mainly interested to see how well the poems I did post were accepted since each one was an original with 2 of them written on the spot. I wasn't surprised by the higher number who don't care, it's too bad though... they should have some sort of opinion one way or another but it's typical. The "just quit posting" was put there for the smart asses since I never do what I'm told anyway. The biggest surprise was after 5 hours there had been about 150 views but only 28 votes, I'm guessing the other 120 who didn't vote didn't care either...

And after 5 hours.... 140 hits, 28 votes... for those who enjoyed the poems... sorry but it seems the "majority" made the decision... The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

That's what I figured. Logan is the first airport where anyone's even blinked an eye (I've flown out of Seattle, Charlotte, Phoenix, SFO, and Oakland with it). Last week they opened my bag and swabbed it down, but all it took was one screener asking her colleague "Hey, are parachutes okay?" to get me through. Hopefully it will be easier the next time someone takes thier rig thru security The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

Well, at least they got an education of sorts on what to expect when they run into the next skydiver's rig that goes thru the x-ray machine... The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

I've been debating whether to post more or not so I figured I'd let you decide... The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

Oh man. It's raining, Bobbi. It's going to rain tomorrow too. Can you imagine a bored, grounded Walt Appel? Maybe I will go north this weekend after all. rl At least I won't miss much by not going since it's going to rain... The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

uhmmm... none of the above? The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

Maybe if you did something, there would be a chance. I'm planning to auction briguy off one of these days; maybe I'll auction you off too. I'd put you both on ebay but I'm pretty sure it's illegal to sell people. rl Actually I've seen people "sold" on eBay before... it's just a matter of how you word it...

Perhaps if you had taken the time to read what I stated, I did give them a call. The canopy I ordered, which I paid for, which the shipping invoice lists was sold and sent to someone else. I was told since there were no others left I had to keep what I didn't want or send it back. I called them within 5 minutes of opening the box and seeing it was the wrong one. I am not stupid, my first recourse IS customer service. When customer service told me I had no other choice, to take it or leave it I decided to share my experience with others who are also purchasing the same product and letting them know what kind of "support" they really give.

Nobody... I sent my sense of humor in for it's 4 year service and they lost it... The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

I can see your point... did they offer to let you swap the canopy for another color, or were they just out of 175's, making that color your only option, and hence the take it or leave it (the website did state limited to stock on hand). Just curious... they got mine right. No other 175's available... I'm guessing that either the someone in shipping is color blind and sent the one I ordered to someone else or they sold it twice and I'm the one who didn't get what they ordered and someone figured I'd accept it. Realistically had customer service been willing to do something (anything) about it I probably would keep it instead I was given the impression they don't really care if the customer is satisfied or not.

Yeah, really... you're buying a brand new canopy at what is probably better than a used canopy price! Maybe I'm not that picky though, hell, my old canopy has bunch of pink in it, and I still jumped it! My points are... Receipt states the colors I ordered Packing invoice states the correct colors Canopy is the wrong colors Customer service had the 'take it or leave it' attitude... that attitude is what sealed the deal... had they been willing to work out a solution that would be one thing but they didn't and that same reason is why I'll be skeptical about doing future business with Aerodyne...

Newbie skydiver Frustrated

I have the same problem, my instructor even got it all on video and we spotted several problems... I'll be spending time in the tunnel this weekend... The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers... -
Basically, I didn't get what I paid for... no offer to replace it with what I paid for, no attempt to satisfy the customer... just a "keep it or send it back"... I work for a small custom cabinet company and we do everything humanly possible to make sure the customer is satisfied, due to our customer service policy we are booked thru October and we don't even advertise. If you were in a restaurant and ordered your steak medium and they served you one that was well done and told you "sorry we don't have any others" would you accept it? Sorry but customer service dropped the ball on this one.. it may be a great deal but an unhappy customer is an unhappy customer.... The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

I just received mine (Triathalon 175) and am packing it back in the box to return it. Apparently someone made a mistake and sent a yellow/silver when I ordered navy/red. If they still had the navy/red they'd send it out but there aren't any 175's left... well they'll have 1 in a few days... Too bad, I was looking forward to my first new canopy...
