Jean-Luc, if it´s technically possible it would be very helpful to have an additional starter configuration for the FMGS called "Turn-around" or something. Because most of us are evening pilots and need to have a possible time separation between the legs to fly. For instance you come home and get a chance to make trip from Hamburg to Nice, which takes already 2 1/2 hours including planning, refuelling, boarding etc. You´ll need to make a break to have dinner with your family, getting the children to bed and make an advertisement for how much she likes 3 following episodes of "Grey´s Anatomy" to your wife without you seated bored next to her. After this you come back to the airport for the return flight from Nice to Hamburg.
It would be great if you could start with the cockpit already in a turn-around state and not from cold & dark.
This would be even more realistic because usually the aircraft start-up is already done when the flight crew enter the cockpit. The system state could be as mentioned by the turn-around procedures of the cockpit preparation checklist of an A320. Where Batteries are left on, Ground power is connected and on, monitors and systems are fired up etc.
