'Welcome to Skydiving'

i and 2 others had our jumps booked for 13:30. Navigated through, GP leaving KZN, traffic and made it to DSC by approx 13:10. When checking in, was notified that the center was running behind time and that our jumps could only be done at 15:45 and 16:45. Having made the 65km trip with family (3 vehicles, 11 people) and looking forward to the day, we decided to wait. At 16:20, only when we'd re-checked the roster, we were notified that DSC had slotted in another approx. 7 jumps before ours, and that we may not be able to do our scheduled jumps because they weren't allowed to fly after 18:00. The excuse was that they had students who were stuck in traffic and couldn't make it on time, their jumps took precedence, and that we could either wait or have our money back and come back another time. Not what anyone wants to hear after waiting 3hrs, let alone the comment 'Welcome to Skydiving', made by one of the people listening in.<br> Appalling attitude, and here's the kicker... If the service and management wasn't bad enough, I couldn't help but wonder if it had anything to do with us being the only non-whites there on the day.
