:Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. History is an important part of articles and therefore I do not see why the bit about whistling should be removed. I toured with a show that had to have 4 people on the fly rail because certain moves were very complex and required more than one person so your reasoning behind that is sort of incorrect. As for the gender of the term, I think that de-sexing it is fine. --[[User:Lekogm|Lekogm]] 00:49, 19 July 2007 (UTC) |

To suggest that this article be merged with Riggers is crazy, not all Fly Crew are riggers and not all Riggers are Fly Crew. [[User:Mrtechguy|Mrtechguy]] ([[User talk:Mrtechguy|talk]]) 12:45, 1 February 2011 (UTC) |

Automation and its impact on terms and roles
Most of the theatre flying threads focus on counter weight systems and the roles and principles involved. How can we distinguish that these discussions use many of the same terms 'Fly crew' being the most relevant here, as automated venues but the definitions differ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ledieu (talk • contribs) 03:28, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Whistling, Gender, potential merges
The Discussion of a oft ignored stage superstition should be removed from this article. Whistling isn't bad luck in theaters, it's called a head set and thats what is used to issue fly calls. Really all of the fly articles should be merged into flyman, since only shows with flying actors will more then one or maybe two fly operators, and perhaps we should de-sex the term altogether.--71.107.212.156 18:50, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- I can assure you that whistling onstage is still regarded as bad luck, regardless of whether the real reason is still valid. Bryson430 19:33, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Merging with Rigger
