Yeah, it works really well. The best bit is that you can let the loader be the most PSI-incapable weakling, it doesn't matter at all, as I have a policy of keeping them unarmed. The gunner can carry a back-up laser pistol, but I never arm the loader. Ever.

*edits*

I've also used the "Gunner and loader" idea for med-evac purposes. Basically one soldier picks up the stunned and near dead body (if it's someone useful) and then they all throw the body to the dropship, in a chain. You can actually cover a huge distance per turn like this, one old method of evacuation I had was to knock everyone in an area out and then go and throw them into to the ship (they're counted as alive if anyone escapes) and then everyone ran back to the Skyranger.

Works really nicely until your two remaining soldiers get ambushed, at which point it all goes a bit pear-shaped, which is what lead me to stop.
