Interesting to hear that you aren't the only DZ to experience this. hehe thanks for Groupon my final AFF jumps are harder to schedule at my local DZ (MB, Canada) due to all the Tandems generated from Groupon ;p

Yea we actually lost a few funjumpers because we've been so busy. Used to send 1 flight an hour with 3 tandems with 5-8 solo jumpers. Now we send 2 flights an hour with 5-6 tandems on each flight and around 2-3 funjumpers... :/ It's not always that bad but it is more often than not.

How much did you pay for AFF? You're going to be pretty sad when you hear that we do AFF for $999 :)

AFF for $999, eh? Which DZ are you / where are you based?

http://www.1800funjump.com seems to have the same pricing and schedule, and an AFF for $999, so I'm guessing that's the one. A bunch of friends and I were planning to go there for a jump, actually.

Well that isn't a cool, almost double that haha -- I'm just happy they resist the urge to over work their instructors, however temping in this in-demand situation. Blue Sky's and safety first :)

Camera first, safety third ;)
