Perhaps you can make some load out classes and on the equipment you can click a button and the game tries to equip that soldier with that class with stuff you have put in the Skyranger... ^^
Yeah, that would be cool too; preset 'class' loadouts you can select for a soldier. That said though, I'd like to instantly load out my entire team from a choice of saved presets at the click of a button.
I also suggest to add functionality to equip soldiers on base. Loadouts could also be useful there. Together with "autoequip skyranger" (so every soldier could get a equiped item) it could this part of game easier.
