And while there are pilots who keep working for nothing the drop zones will have a steady supply of free and nasties to keep screwing over every pilot who hasjust paid $30K+ to get a license to fly what is blatantly a commercial operation.
I went back to one drop zone I slutted at (remember whores get paid
) and thought, yeah, the flying was fun. Why not fly one for old times sake?
Halfway up remembered what a fcuked up piece of siht that thing was. Lucky the radio sorta worked, cause the TC didn't, the alt was set 2000' high to rip the tandems off....
Bring on AoCs. At least then there would be some control over the industry, cause at the moment, CASA couldn't give two sihts.
Rant out.
Actually, at least there are now drop tickets and some form of awareness about the dangers (well, maybe not on here), but there's still a long way to go.
