Yes, that does work, and I have done it, but you risk getting a slat/flap caution that may not clear on engine start, (although it did clear when I tried it), so some Captains are not very keen.
As far as I'm concerned, our bosses should simply tell these jumped up fuelers to just get on with it, keep a good look out and not drive into our planes. Who do the fuelers think they are; overriding what we and Airbus say?
