It seems that the company SkyRides has now formed a new company called
Soaring Sports and has become an SSA business member to hyjack the
F.A.S.T program in order to sell rides.

Some operators will not do business with Sky Rides by honoring the
certificates it sells. *Sky Rides has contacted the SSA to sell the
F.A.S.T. program to unknowing customers. *These customers call a
gliderport to redeem the F.A.S.T certificate and the operator has no
idea that it was not sold by the SSA but rather, by the Sky Rides
company.

Can any of the operators confirm this?

Contact Rob Barber (GA) and discuss this directly. I've had some
recent discussions with him on this matter, including the issues
caused by Sky Rides and the type of approach needed to make it
acceptable. He should not be offering certificates and packages for
those clubs and commercial operators that he doesn't have an agreement
with to do so.

Discuss? Right approach?

These folks have a history of operating cons and scams. They've been investigated by multiple media sources and consumer affairs groups. They've had membership of organizations like the PGA suspended. WTF is there to discuss? These folks should never be an SSA business member and this just needs to be undone asap.
