180 days would still be at least 185 days too long. The only argument
for sticking with 120 or 180 days is the work that the riggers would
lose.
That is what my rigger says, too, and blames it on the associations.
I just had my skydiving reserve repacked two months ago. That cost me
$75, and it doesn't look like I'm going to get to use it before it's
due again. It's a scam and I'm sick of it.
180 days will let many (most?) fly the season with a legal parachute.
Others will pleased that the number of days they fly with an illegal
parachute is now reduced by 90.
