Whilst a pilot spends most of his flight prep time in flightdeck preparation tasks, it seems appropriate to minimise the interactions he has with GSX.
At present, I have to separately activate ground services for catering, refueling, and boarding when, in reality, I would expect someone outside the cockpit to perform these actions.
Could the ground services menu be reduced to 'Deboard', 'Emboard' and 'Prepare for push-back', with the Emboard automatically invoking the current Catering and Refueling and, when these are completed, automatically invoking the Boarding processes (including baggage loading)?
