BUUUUULLSHIT!!!

Sorry, but there's no other way of describing the above.
Controls fitted to a BC: inflate, deflate and dump (sometimes up to three)
Controls fitted to a wing: inflate, deflate and dump (normally one - so fewer decisions to make)

How many novices have you started on wings, anyway, Terry?

Or to put it another way, are you really going to extend your agencies
course by maybe as little as half a day, making you less competative, just
to accommodate a piece of kit that only 10% of your clients would buy

If you teach them on wings from the start, you might find that percentage going up...and those buying BCDs going down...but that's a seperate issue.
