TheWoWDBIF you somehow managed to miss the parachutes and plummeted to your death (thus killing not only yourself but the ability to complete this quest for the moment) - don't fret/freak.
Return to SW and take the panda-portal to Paw'Don, once in that town an NPC should tell you to take the other portal (practically in front of you) back to the skyship. (Thanks to Clarke from Arygos for pointing this out.)

As of patch 5.1, the parachutes no longer spawn in as they should at the edges of the ship. Currently waiting on a ticket response to finish the quest on my monk alt.
EDIT: on 11/28, they restarted my server in the afternoon and I managed to get on right after it came up, and guess what, there were a couple parachutes on the side of the airship! Might have been a hotfix, or might have been the restart, who knows.
This quest is broken. As of right now the "parachutes" never appear therefore making it impossible to complete and also continue questing in the area

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Unleash Hell
I will NOT let the Horde gain a foothold on these shores before we do! If you're looking to jump into the fray, I've got a spare gyrocopter for you at the end of the runway. An attack run is already programmed in, all you have to do is concentrate on shooting. Unleash hell upon these orcs!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- No Plan Survives Contact with the Enemy
Quickly and quietly; that's how SI:7 prefers to operate. That was the plan, at least. Rell Nightwind is already inside Garrosh'ar Point looking for signs of Anduin and Taylor, but it's getting hot in there and he needs support. Fight yer way through these dogs and find Rell!
