Marty, I agree to a certain extent, but the point of my earlier post was to ask how you would feel if the "tradition" was to call them 3-woman crews. Would you, being a man, like to be called part of a 3-woman crew? I think I would not. Instead of blindly keeping a tradition that misrepresents the truth of the situation, what's the harm in adopting an inclusive term? As always, just my opinion.

Chuck
