There are a number of reasons why I don't use this "jetway feature".

Jetways wouldn't be align to AI aircraft.
Ability to customize individual jetways would be near zero since they have to be "macros" in this case.
Can't automatically read aircraft types, which means lists of NAV frequencies for diff aircraft.
Hard to control what jetway should move, obviously only the one you're parked at should move and not the ones left and right at the same time.

To sum it up, the way this is implemented elsewhere today (which is curerntly the best and only way) I find too "primitive". I like to either have things perfect or not have them at all.

Regarding this feature in future releases: In this version (FS 2004) I have no plans to make such jetways. If the next version of FS offers more capabilities (variables I can use to automate this) than we will implement it in future releases.

That's straight from Martin.
