I am flying in X-Plane 12. MCE ground crew is destroying all my flights by disabling Better Pushback.  I have tried all the verbal commands, but he seems to ignore me.  Not surprising, I don't have a very good voice.  Is there a way to get rid of him that doesn't involve speaking to him?

Normally, the ground mechanic only pops-in when you ask him to with "cockpit to ground" or "ground from flight deck". If you hear him chime in without saying anyting, it can only be due to such command, perhaps included in a flow. Just inspect all of your cusatom flows and delete such commands.

In case it happens by accident, and want him to go away, just say "ground you may leave" and he'll do just that. Since MCE gives you the opportunity to create custom commands, you can have a custom one that will spring to yur head naturally, instead of memorizing the above  that will be interpreted as if you spoke "ground you may leave". See this thread on how to do that.
