How far in advance do major DZs finalize tandem instructor rosters?

Looking for insights from anyone who has worked at or knows:

  • NZONE (NZ)
  • Skydive Arizona
  • Skydive Perris
  • Skydive Chicago
  • Skydive Byron Bay
  • Skydive Wollongong
  • Skydive Spain
  • GoJump Oceanside
  • Skydive Monterey Bay
  • Skydive Spaceland

For these DZs:

  • How far in advance are instructor rosters finalized? (same day / 1–3 days / 1 week / 2 weeks / 1 month+)
  • Does this rostering method change during the peak season?
  • Does anyone use dynamic rostering (e.g., finalizing schedules only a few days before operations)?

If possible, please mention the DZ and whether the info is current. Thanks!
