2. When we are #1 and and want to start from parking, the other plane from our squad don't move and stay on the parking. It could be nice to be able to say them to go on the runway (without crashing on you).

Taxi to takeoff works for humans and AI. When player is a leader AI will not start their engines until ordered by player. That enables player to get ready for flight. Keep in mind that taxi to takeoff is not intended to be foolproof.

It is important that mission builder make mission in way that is as easy for AI as possible. It is not realistic to expect that planes from a flight can be spread all around and that they will perfectly form up and takoff. Taxiing is not main purpose of this sim, it should be used only for spicing up the missions.
