The difference between the way Brian Erler runs LISC and Skydive South Shore and how Martin Audit runs 516-SKYDIVE, is honesty. All three dropzones are tandem factories, and there are usually no ATC restrictions. Brian Erler leads his customers to believe that they'll jump from 10K'. Martin Audit tells his that they'll go to 8,000' ... and he treats his staff with the same respect. I was amazed at the difference. There are still good DZOs out there; Martin is one of them.***JayFitz164 wrote:
Don't have a dog in this fight on the non compete but I saw a video on Facebook of a kid I know doing a tandem out there this summer.
Perfectly clear day with no clouds and they got out of the plane at 8,100 feet. Granted the video intro says they only go to 10k but the alti shot in the door says 8k. Looks like its a smooth way to make cash of newbies for not much of a skydive.***I have even less of a dog in the fight (well, maybe lol.. all I know is I know nothing about the details or the people involved), but ATC restrictions happen. I'd bet that on Long Island, it would not be uncommon.

Geoff that is laughable!!!!

For the record: Brian at LISC pays out of his pocket for workers comp for the all staff and independent contractors like Ti's packers, etc.

Can you tell me ONE OTHER DZO that pays for workers comp for Ti's and packers????????

I have a question: Do you use the terms "bullshit" and "dick" in your everyday language? It shows your true intelligence!!

So lets fill you in on some history:
I have been jumping at LISC on and off for the past 9 years! I never had to sign a non compete contract in the past until an office person allegedly stole documents to give to the competition. Which is the only reason they have the non compete contract and I have no issue signing it each year....

Because it wasn't disclosed by anyone else ill fill you in. The two DZ's are just about on the same airport. The two airports are connected by a grass taxi way and their runways are less than about 50' apart on the North end and I would guess about 300' apart on the south end.


To all: Just because you think a non compete contract will not hold up in court for what ever reason please understand the law before you post your amateur opinion! Thanks..
So lets review the facts:
It did hold up in court!
And if this contract was so egregious, I recommend to Geoff to file suit for damages.. You don't need a big bank account if you are in the right! Most attorneys would take this case for a commission.

Once again for the record: I have know Geoff for about 9 years now, He was the IE that crossed me over from Strong to Sigma. (thanks Geoff) I consider Geoff to be a friend, but I will not sit by and watch this persecution of a DZ and it's owner by uninformed people. (and I'm talking to you to Princess (That's an old joke to one of the posters)) If you don't know the full story please do your due diligence and ask questions before you post dribble.. Thanks

It's not my story to tell.

Geoff, Lashing out on this forum is childish... Why don't you tell everyone why you were fired last year?? If you are going to tell a story why not tell the whole story??
