Close them down!!!
I have worked for many skydive operators in my time flying everything up to Navajos. And they are all a bad as each other. I just hope that CASA will continue raiding skydive operators. These guys must improve their safety of operation. Jumping through 8/8th cloud is common practise, and unfortunately as a young pilot if you say "no" you'll be out of a job quick smart.

A particular skydive company up north qld admitted to flying aircraft without a MR, and paying pilots to under write the hours flown on the MR, and all they got was a small fine, and a slap on the hand. What a joke. CASA need to come down hard on these operators and make them realise that they must also operator to the rules and regs.
