It is really not that hard to figure out if you think about it and don't have an axe to grind.
If there was a go around you probably could show a loss.
There was a financial transaction. There were gross reciepts.
The FAA doesn't care about his bottom line, only the IRS and his bank account care about his bottom line.

QuoteRemember the incident a few years back in Oregon where the plane went in with no one on board? That was a private pilot at the controls and the FAA ruled it was perfectly legal because of the "shared use" waiver. The pilot made his first jump and the plane was destroyed.
Look it up!

There were no tandems on that plane. I believe therefore it was much easier to rule legal due to shared use. With a tandem on board I highly doubt you would get the same outcome.

It is a commercial drop zone, flying skydivers and students for money. The pilot is required to have a commercial license. he knows that. He doesn't have one. What happened to all the skydivers at that DZ? What haoppened to self-regulating? This is a perfect example why self regulating is not working. You are a USPA RD and admit to having 1000 skydives from a plane with a private pilot at the controls. What example does that set to the other skydivers? What does that tell the FAA? What happened to your integrity?

I will stand by Bob and Duanesburg, if you want to take the other side then that is your business.
In my opinion you have no integrity, stay in your tunnel where you can be safe.
You have been pestering me all day long and quite frankly I have had enough. I get it, you don't jump anymore and you hate skydivers. You hate USPA. whatever....
You really need to get a life dude.

Who said he can't get one? More like won't, or doesn't need one.
Well, actually this guy did need one.
Is "said guy" the same as "this guy", or is "said guy" a hypothetical guy?
The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
It makes no difference whether the venture shows a profit or not. It was a commercial transaction.
