Is there a standard time for prepartion for the flight crew before the pushback of the heavy jets. I presume this time would be prescribed by the company concerned but a generalised idea would be good. Secondly, I would love to see some bright spark come up with a better way to start up the long winded process of organising a long haul flight. Imagine it starts with an animated sequence like seen in a first person shooter where you arrive at the dispatch office and you are greeted by the dispatch officer and by the other crew members. You sign up for a flight and PFPX generates a flight plan report for you which automatically transfers to the EFB. The briefing uses ASN to generate a weather forecast report which as usual is included in the PFPX Flightplan. Next you and the other flight crew members are time warped to the cockpit. The animated co-pilot starts her procedures (FS2Crew) and the dispatch team also visit the cockpit to update your fuel and payload data. At the end of the flight you report back to the dispatch office at the arrival airport to sign off for the flight and get your butt kicked by the operations officer for any number of reasons: tardiness, using too much fuel, near misses or bad landings in a analysis of your flying abilities. I dont care if the crew look like they move like they are Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men. I think it woudl be really cool.
