This is IMO very good news. Personally i think that animated ground crew its more important that animated pilots or gunners. Because usually the distace between aircraft is too big to really notice the pilot or gunner inside other aircraft. But when you take off or land, that's when having animated human figures of ground crew and pilots become important and make a way more immersive and beleivable "living" world.
I understand that animated ground crew demands a lot of resources, and its more dificult to achieve this in multiplayer because it more object that data have to be send and receive, but i think its a key point, specially for single player, to make the world more alive.
