GSX Pro Short-term Roadmap: what to expect in the next updates.
WebMaximus:
I was thinking it could be just the way it is now. Meaning those who like it the way it is now don't need to do anything. While those who don't want this question can simply tick the box.
Don't you think that would work?

You are still missing the point. What GSX should then do with the pilots and crew, when the option to skip the question is selected ?
- Before this was even a problem ( it never was in years ), GSX always boarded/deboarded everybody.
- Then users complained they didn't want to wait for pilots/crew to arrive or they are simulating a turnaround, so we added the question.
- Now even the question seem too much so, again, what should be doing, revert to always board/deboard everybody, as it always was in years ?
How many seconds you'll think will pass after such change, that will see users asking for things like:
"I'm annoyed by the question, but I always board pilots, but not the crew"
"I'm annoyed by the question, but I always board the crew, but not the pilots"
"I'm annoyed by the question, and I only want to board passengers"
See how just an "Yes/No" option wouldn't really work, for something that is INHERENTLY a 4-ways choice ?
WebMaximus:
No, I don't think I'm missing the point but I fear maybe you are.
When the option would be ticked, GSX Pro would do the same thing with the pilots and crew as it already does today when you select 'Nobody'. Meaning it won't simulate them boarding/deboarding but only simulate the passengers boarding/deboarding.
Again, this way those who like to have the possibility to choose if the pilots and/or crew should board/deboard would simply leave the suggested option unticked. All fine. Where those of us who find it a bit annoying having this question on every flight could tick the box and by doing so, only have the passengers boarding/deboarding.

Perhaps something simple when first using GSX at an airport (could be done when selecting a parking spot), the user selects a profile
-Single flight (full boarding / deboarding)
-Turnaround (boarding / deboarding of pax & bags only)
-Fuel Stop (boarding / deboarding of pax only)
And have a global option to disable the prompt, so users can just get full boarding every time if they like without questions.

I obviously haven't, but it really seems you are. Or, more precisely, have failed to see what the likely complains about what you are suggesting would be.

And again, who's deciding what would be the correct default action when the option to skip the menu is enabled ? BEFORE we had the questions, for years, GSX always boarded pilots and crew and there was no question.
So, if we disabled the question, logic would dictate we should go back to the previous behavior, which was boarding everybody with no question. But now you are instead suggesting a change which, again, makes my point that a YES/NO option wouldn't be enough, because everybody would want a different "default" behavior, if the question was to be skipped.
