Ajax,

What makes it tough for me is we do not pick you up till 5,000 feet and I drop from 10,000 so I only have about 5 or 6 minutes to get a hold of you guys, and the FAR's REQUIRE we make 2 way communications with you so I have to contact you, no matter how busy you are. I had one guy tell me last year if I called again he would violate me....I cant help it, I have to call, I wish we had a LOA because then it would simplify the process, I dont want a beacon code, I just want a 06B roger when I tell you I am out of 6 for 10 with jumpers, and then to call you a minute prior so you know and let me know if anyone is off HUO for COATE/SAX, then you get jumpers away and 2 min later I say goodbye when you get jumpers below 4k. Thats all I look for, I try to be short and sweet, I just have to cover my butt, this is a short term gig in my career path, and I am not gonna get violated for not making my calls. That all is also only 1% of the time the other 99% are smooth and simple, its just tough when I am flying 20 loads a day and in the air 10 hours, and talking to you guys each time.
