  1. okay so here is the situation.......... Lets say you are crazy enough and decide to be a DZO. You open a dropzone and after 12 years you finally get fairly big. You lease turbine a/c and have a nice safe DZ. This venture is not an easy one and of course you can not make everyone happy. Along the way you train someone and they become your friend. However, you have a falling out and no more friendship. Then they decide to start up a DZ on the same airport. Still you have no worries, its all good....plus remember you are nuts because you are a DZO. Then someone wants to jump with you to build up there numbers so they can go work for the other DZ. You kindly tell them you would not feel comfortable with their staff at your DZ. Time goes by and this jumper is not a bad customer and you even start to like them. However they start working for the other DZ and want to come and jump at your DZ. You just don't feel comfortable with the situation and know it will create more tension in the future. You don't want bad vibes at your dz so you ask them to please decide between the two dz's. so what would you have done????????................ All dzs have politics and unfortunately it is impossible to convey the whole story in a forum or email. Safe swoops, Brian
