Ron 10 #7 February 8, 2013 Skydive Dallas was fantastic to work for. Good pay, treated the instructors well..."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raff 4 #8 February 8, 2013 All of the posts are positive. I suspect that is because they were added by the kind of person who would be welcome at any DZ. When I hear someone maligning his/her current or former DZ/DZO, I'm usually not surprised considering the source. I know instructors who have been fired and/or incarcerated at every DZ at which they've ever worked. It seems that they have always been "surrounded by assholes." What a surprise!If you leave the plane without a parachute, you will be fine for the rest of your life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

popsjumper 2 #11 February 25, 2013 All DZOs are [/crazy]. It's a job requirement. My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stratostar 5 #13 February 25, 2013 QuoteWow Amazing insight for a person with a whole 83 jumps per the profile! Wow pretty dickheaded reply there.... I know people with less jumps then that, like 3 or 0 and they know way more then you do with all of you're short time in the sport, all of 9 yrs. Judging someone based on jump numbers is pretty fucking stupid. QuoteDoes Elsinore still have the rule for following the first man down? That was SOP for many places back when you decided to grace the sport with your presents. If you don't like it, don't go there or land out and walk back... not that big of a deal! Only it seems now we have a bunch of cry babies about minor shit. QuoteIf so, some would argue that this might not be the way all DZs should be run. Well then ace why don't step to the plate then show us all how to do it then, after all you seem to have all the insight and wisdom that is clearly lacking at one of the longest running skydive centers on the earth. Put up or shut up! Again if you don't like it don't go there, pretty simple!you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
