Almost every pilot crew room I have ever worked in, and every terminal of every airport have screens showing which flights are on which gates.
KJFK : please get a screen the Ground controller(s) can see so they know where to send us without having to ask.
Our company forbids active pilots making non vital radio calls after TOD, and this includes calls to agents and Ramp. So unless we are a heavy crew we have to wait until on the ground, unless we get an ACARS message, (which we don't).
Both pilots are required to closely monitor the taxi phase, especially at large, complicated and confusing airports, so having one pilot leaving box one to talk on box two is potentially dangerous.
