I guess I really don't understand why you can't do this now. I do understand the want for a coop mode so you can have your score screen / debrief part of the final analysis of the mission, but the most important part of the coop is flying together right?

So what's wrong with starting a server with your own missions that is password protected, and have everyone join in at the same agreed upon time? You could delay the mission by not using the battle start command until everyone is ready, or you could do it all by time delays in your triggers for your objectives/flights or w/e you planned on attacking/defending together. Either way, I find it would be fairly easy to fly in a coop by yourselves in the channel map without having the word "coop" attached to the game mode.

If you want air starts that makes it more difficult, but it still can be done. I'm equally frustrated with many parts of the sim that don't work right, but the ability to fly together cooperatively can easily be done right now. It may not have the click, wait for countdown timer, and have everyone spawned right up next to each other at mission start, but I'm sure that's not really that big of deal compared to the cooperative flying part. Perhaps I'm missing something.
