======To me, father commands the son throughout life and educates him as he
matures. Therefore, there is an accepted command structure...one would
surmise. However, try that concept on your wife.!!! I really think that
this is a very individual thing that should be evaluated on a case by case
basis...and if it has been working well for years why mess it up now? All
the rumors came by word of mouth and are kind of sensitive...I am in a
position where I don't want to say or pass on any bad info that could really
stir up a hornets nest. However, as I go around the world talking to pilots
I will see if I can round up any stories or facts that are at least
partially justifiable.
Good luck in your efforts.
