You pretty much proved in part, the point he was trying to make. IF you can pack 12 rigs an hour...that's less than 5 minutes per rig. So you're saying a rig can be safely packed in 4 minutes if you know what you're doing...ok fine. I don't know ANY skydivers (save pro-teams & camera workers) that don't have 5 minutes between their next load to pack their own rig. SO...it just might BE the 'rich & famous' attitude that feeds this 'service industry' after all? I actually agreed with the rich and famous and bad for the sport comments, hence why they weren't in the quote. But to ask why you are tipping me. Am I a walmart checker? Can a walmart checker ruin your day (or your life) if he screws up his job? Can you ask a walmart checker to do you a favor and skip you to the front of the line and zip thru your checkout process because you have other stores to get to? It's a ridiculously false analogy. Looking at how many I can pack in a hour and doing some quick math and assuming that I'm rich is silly. Weather, taxes, airplanes go down, seasonal issues, etc etc. It's not a 9-5. I agree with the rest of what he said. I do some packing for plenty of the rich and a few of the famous. I don't disagree one bit.

And for god's sake if you just bought new gear and did the whole brand new canopy one size bigger than the container is made for so you can downsize 2 times in the same container and you want me to shove 20 pounds of snot into a 10 pound sack all day long so you can make 20s --- tip dammit. You have 8k to spend on gear, you can give me 8 bucks a pj, ya cheap, lazy bastard.

12 rigs an hour ... when we're flying. How much do you make in your office while it's raining outside? So myopic. Professionals? It's a service industry. It is customary to tip service workers. You want to be on every 20? Cool, tip me when I get you on every damn load you want to be on while juggling the 7 other up jumpers I have while keeping tandems on the wall and unfucking student rigs all day. You come off like a total c*unt here.

I should have pointed out that they use standard cypreses in their student gear.

K, so maybe I was misinformed, but about a year ago I listened to our VERY experienced pilot in charge explain to an AFF instructor why she was an idiot for thinking an AAD could fire while descending in the plane.

Good points. And great idea with the pants stuffing. I might need to look into a removable slider!

Guy at my DZ was obsessed with getting one for his Crossfire119. Fool doesn't even swoop, but he's got a nice wide wing ...for his 90. Make sure it matches your Gatorz

Gayos -- AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Some real wit right there. You come up with that one yourself? See, it's funny cuz you replaced the first part of the word with gay and then added the -os from last half of the word. A hybrid if you will -- OMG OMG OMG, kinda like how the "Gayos" is a hybrid/half xbraced/half conventional canopy! WIT! OMGOMGOMG, shouldn't Gayos be the word people who lack wit and vocabulary use for the Xaos canopy? It actually kinda fits better, no? Rhymes and follows cadence... I dunno, I'm just spitballing here. Maybe the Xaos isn't as "gay" as the Neos. I'm not skygodian enough to make that decision. Anyhoo, thanks for the epic lulz from Gayos.

Dunno, but they had better match your G3 and Liquid Sky suit if you want to wear a proper skydiver uniform.

Hardest I've facepalmed in a long while. Good on ya, sir. My favorite part was how the Legacy he wants doesn't look bulky in the pics.

Heh, a machine @30 a day.

Why do people complain when their canopy opens softly?

thats hilarious! wings? tommy hungry, tommy want wingy!
