What *does* everyone do on the flight deck? We know Jenna does the

Vila usually handles weaponry (whose idea was that, BTW <g>?) and either
I've always wondered how Vila wound up on weapons myself -- perhaps the weapons are linked to targeting sensors that are controlled from another station (Avon's perhaps?) and all Vila has to do is press the right button?
Cally or Gan seems to handle communications. But what does Avon (before he runs for the force wall <g>)
I think Avon's station handles all of the sensor telemetry and system management instrumentation. The bit of having to run for the force wall always annoys me, though -- that console next to the couches seems like a really illogical place to put the controls for any combat-necessary functions.
and whichever's *not* on communications do
during a battle? They do all seem awfully busy ...
Maybe system management is divided between Avon's position and Gan's - Avon's has computer and power management, and Gan's monitors stuff like damage control and auto-repair?
