GSX multiple tasks at once
« on: May 31, 2015, 03:24:14 am »
Hi i was spotting at PHX today, and SWA had catering services and deboarding or boarding going on at the same time. thats why they can get 25-40 minutes turn. I use realistic loading times, and i can never fit in catering services, so my question is will you guys be willing to update it so we can do multiple things at once?

Sorry, but catering and boarding at the same time it's quite unusual procedure.

Also, on some airplanes (the A318/319, for example) it's not even physically possible to have a baggage loader together with a catering service, because there's not enough space.

And, a reason why some services are not done at the same time, it's also because this way we minimize the chance for vehicles to run into each other, since they are not aware of each other, and trying to add this, in addition to create performance problems, it will likely cause all sort of problems like traffic deadlocks on the already cramped space in the parking.

The issue of not enough physical space in the airplane is just ONE of the SEVERAL reasons why we don't allow simultaneous boarding/deboarding while catering.

There other reasons I explained are far more important, and are the main reason why the program is made that way.

Good gosh! I feel sorry for those ramp guys. Catering trucks are a huge inconvenience to use on the ramp. They get in the way
