Mode switching is something that everybody knows about, and everybody (almost) agrees that, from a "fun" point of view, it's wrong.
Yet most of the players do it, because it's easy and because the devs don't disagree with it. It's simply a "feature", working as it should.
Well, to that I say: Ok, let's do it. This is a feature, but can we make it less dumb than this ? When I play Elite I play a space sim, so make it feel like it !
If you want to leave this way of making money in the game FINE, but please consider this : why not simply make it comfortable ? If you're into stacking passengers, have the option to "wait and stock".
You press a button, and you wait. People will come aboard your ship, small groups, 1 by 1, 2 by 2. The more people you carry the more money you'll make, but also : the more you wait !
EDIT : would only work with economy type passengers.
EDIT 2 : also, a little rebalancing on the money rewards could help
This would feel a lot more "legit" and would save hours of "log in, log out, log in, log out" which is simply and purely annoying.
