Is it true that some skydive operators will not only charge you for an endorsement (if required), but then during training (icus) charge you the cost of a "slot" on the aircraft each flight because you are taking up room which a jumper would normally pay for?

I'm just curious because a mate mentioned this recently and Im pretty keen to get into jump flying on a turbine or twin.

Also, I'm in Melbourne for now but probably return to Perth in the near future depending on where Mrs Tiger's job takes her. Any tips on the good/better skydive operators in both these places? Who to avoid?

Thanks

Tiger.
