Narrative:
Aircraft X operated by company a. Few conflicting jump runs at zph. This created a safety problem and coordination problem with the 2 company B aircraft. Possible violations of far 105 (105.13/105.14/105.15/105.17/105.29/105.33/105.35/105.43). Safety violation: aircraft X dropped on ZJX frequency at an altitude of 13500' AGL. Company B aircraft worked tra approach and dropped at 12500' AGL. The jump aircraft were on different frequencys and altitude and dropping through the same column of air. This was less frequent than normal, but still a problem. Company a has stated that they will have my chief pilot's license revoked by FAA. He fears for his job.
