No, Kip paid the price for that tandem with a 90 day suspension. I can't speak for Kip, but I believe Kip has resigned because he has the backbone to stand for what he believes. If you want the real facts, call Kip, he can give his side of the story. Those of us, who know what has happened, support Kip, and believe he has done the right thing.

I agree that your life is not worth a few jumps, but this fix is not totally free. Having the rig out of service during the first good weekend in the area since fall, and the shipping charges of $30.00 or so isn't much, but don't call the fix free. And how much value is the lost confidence in the rig worth?
