They have this already.  You just land the plane, end sortie, click the runway you want and "poof"  Auto Take-off. :aok  Seriously though, that's the challenge involved in a re-arm.  Make it to the pad, get the plane setup on the runway again, and keep it on the straight and narrow while lifting off.

If you have enough skill (or luck) to actually be able to land and get to the rearm pad, you should then also have enough skill to manually take off without the crutch of auto-takeoff.

I'd like a .poontang command, too.

     To be fair if you're often an AFK flyer like I am frequently that could be kinda nice to have.  If it was a "flick the switch" type of change sure!  But It probably isn't. You wouldn't be perfectly lined up with the runway for example. 
     I do not think this is a request for a crutch, but one for convenience.  It wouldn't be a very big convenience.  I would use it but my reaction is pretty much just...meh.

Why not, we already have IFF transponders.

Classic case of give the player what he wants, not what he asks for.

I.E. Ask for dot command, wants a way to turn auto take off on once it was off.

How about I turn on  auto takeoff if any autopilot key is press and you are stopped on the ground?

Really? I always thought is was an Instrument Landing System thingy, that lets you find and line up for a landing in low-viz situations.

Maybe to go along with the "auto takeoff" we should have "auto landing" too...

     It sounds like some people are confusing Instrument Landing System with Identification Friend or Foe., ILS and IFF.

What ever happend to just putting your pants on one leg at a time and grinding your own coffee beans to make coffee? Does the OP want an auto airspawn right off the rearmpad pointing him in the right direction on auto level with a speed selection.

.Airsp alt heading autopilotmode speedTA

.Airsp 30,000 90 level 1000

How about if you make it back to within half a sector of your field, no cons or enemy GV in the sector. You can use a rearm command to speed up the boring mess of landing?

.rearm

Now you spawn on the rearm pad from your flight home bipassing having to chance landing manualy. The Airsp command would make defending the strat and HQ easy. 50k B29 mass raids anyone.....

.medic - calls a medic player to spray some proton pack stream stuff at you and cure your pilot wound.
.skyhook - jacks up the side of your plane missing a wing so you can rtb.
.redo - rewinds the clock so your ego is never afflicted with the reality of your abilities.

  Dot,
  We already have a auto landing system in place,admittedly it's not completely auto as you must work the throttle but simply line up,hit auto level and control desent with throttle.... :devil

too complicated why not just push stick forward, aim for the ground, get to the tower and wonder who was that idiot that just crashed a good plane right in front of the tower.

I sometimes don't even use the runway to take off. Just head over through  clear path off the field.
