Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 103 Glory of the Republic! C919! (Please subscribe!)

Until the plane landed, the male passenger in the first-class cabin didn't make a fuss. Presumably, with the company of a strong security officer, no matter how big the anger was, it would gradually subside.It's just that after landing, the purser said that the man's face was as black as the bottom of a pot when he got down, as if he wanted to eat them alive. Looking at this, he must complain afterwards.

Xu Cang also very loyally repeated that he asked the people in the customer service department to find him, and he would bear the responsibility.That's what he planned. Xin Weiwei, the general manager of the cabin department, insisted on awarding him the award for the best flight attendant of the season. Isn't that setting him on fire?
Although Xu Cang is very short of money now, he knows that if he has some money, he must never take it, and if he takes it, it will cause endless troubles.

And once that person complained, Xu Cang took the responsibility and just used the award to pay for it.Anyway, he didn't want it, and he was able to protect Xia Shuyue from disasters, so it was the best use of everything.

It's just that Xu Cang is still just a pilot after all, and he doesn't know much about the rules of the flight attendants.He was obviously a bit self-righteous about the way the matter was handled.

The purser just kept silent when he heard that Xu Cang had to bear it all. If Xia Shuyue hadn't insisted, she really wanted to explain the truth to Xu Cang.However, even though Xu Cang looked naive, the purser could tell that he had a good heart and knew how to take responsibility, so he was a rare good man.This doesn't seem to match the company's rumors that Xu Cang likes to meddle.

Xu Cang, who had just got off the plane and was still exiting the field, received a call from Lu Jinghua. Originally, Xu Cang didn't want to go there.Recently, he has been running to Lu Jinghua's office almost every day. People who don't know him think that there is some strange relationship between him and Lu Jinghua!Moreover, Xu Cang doesn't really like having an overly intimate relationship with someone of the same sex, which will make him feel physically uncomfortable.

However, when Lu Jinghua said that he had found a way to enter the airport, Xu Cang finally couldn't resist and agreed to go to Lu Jinghua's office to discuss it.

However, on the way, Xu Cang noticed that the purser also received a call.Of course, he couldn't hear the content of the purser's call, he could only hear the purser kept saying that it had nothing to do with them, and he was a little irritable.

Xu Cang wondered if it was the first-class man who called the company to complain.If it is, then the speed is too fast, and it seems that it is very angry.

When the crew returned to the temporary parking lot in front of the gate of the base, according to the custom, the flight crew disembarked first, followed by the flight crew and security personnel.However, Xu Cang did not leave immediately after getting out of the car, but waited in place.

After waiting for a while, the purser came down, and Xu Cang stepped forward and asked, "Your side called just now, did that person complain?"

"Hmm!" The purser didn't say much: "That person seemed impatient. When he complained to our company, he even threatened to call the rights protection hotline of the General Administration."

"He also knows the rights protection hotline of the General Administration?" Xu Cang was a little surprised. It seems that this person usually takes a lot of planes, and passengers with a platinum card really have a different vision.

Generally speaking, there are three ways for passengers to complain.The first is to call the airline's customer service hotline directly. This is the choice of most people and the only way to complain.But the airline is not a good person. Unless it is a serious matter, or the passenger who complained is a gold card or above, there is a high probability that it will be classified as an invalid complaint, and then it will be trivialized in a perfunctory manner.

The second is to call the consumer rights protection hotline, which is easier to use than the airline customer service hotline, but the obvious disadvantage is that the feedback is too slow.Sometimes it is so slow that the complainant forgets to complain, and the feedback has not yet come down.

The last thing is to directly call the Civil Aviation Administration of China and ask the immediate superiors of each airline company to deal with them.However, very few people know this way.No matter how arrogant the airline is, it is as obedient as a kitten in front of the headquarters, so this complaint channel is usually the most effective.

When Xu Cang went home and took Feather Airlines and was overbooked, he complained to the Civil Aviation Administration of China to scare the check-in staff. As a result, Feather Airlines arranged for him a VIP seat in the cockpit.

Of course, Xu Cang didn't deserve the unprecedented two bird strikes that almost caused an air crash.But in retrospect, if there is no overbooking, God knows if the two pilots of Feiyu Airlines in the cockpit can get down.

So although Xu Cang was indeed a bit unlucky, he always turned bad luck into good luck, so he was lucky.

Even if the person complained to the General Administration, Xu Cang could give a reason to explain it, but it was still very troublesome.

"It's more difficult, but I will try my best to explain it clearly." The purser finished speaking and laughed, then moved closer to Xu Cang, looked at Xu Cang's face carefully, and quickly smacked his lips: "Nowadays little girls like you like this ?”

Xu Cang was startled: "How?"

The purser was really older, he was more relaxed than a man like Xu Cang, he licked his lower lip: "A man who is prettier than a woman!"

Xu Cang froze for a moment, he didn't like this kind of description of his appearance very much.However, the purser didn't give Xu Cang a chance to defend himself, and left with a smile.

As soon as the purser left, Xia Shuyue came up to him: "Brother, are you going back now?"

"No, I have to go upstairs after handing in the documents, what about you?"

"I'm going upstairs too, and I need to explain something." Xia Shuyue was obviously a little nervous when she said this, and she didn't know if the leaders of the cabin department would talk for a while.

Xu Cang frowned: "For the complaint?"

Xia Shuyue nodded: "Yeah!"

"Shuyue, explain the situation to your people in a while. If they can tell right from wrong, that would be the best. If they still want to blame you, you must say that the person who did it is I, this point must be explained clearly, and all problems must be pushed to my side, understand?" Xu Cang saw Xia Shuyue's softness, and was afraid that she would be at a loss if she was frightened by the leaders of the cabin department. There are some things that need to be emphasized again with her.

Xia Shuyue's watery eyes reflected Xu Cang's handsome and extraordinary face, as if to fill all her field of vision.Xia Shuyue didn't answer, but said: "Brother, then I'll go up first, I can't be late."

Xu Cang frowned. Xia Shuyue didn't answer him, which made him feel a little uneasy, but he didn't tell him anything. Xia Shuyue is an adult, and it's enough to emphasize some things. It's up to her to develop in the end. choose.

"Well, let's go!"

Xia Shuyue lowered her head and silently took the box and walked slowly towards the base building.

Just when she was about to go in, Xu Cang called her suddenly: "Shuyue, do you want to go to Erhai Lake?"

Xia Shuyue turned her head, her face full of doubts: "Brother, what are you going to do at Erhai Lake? Traveling? I heard that the scenery there is very beautiful, but the transportation is not convenient, and I have never been there."

"Of course it's not traveling, it's going to work!" Xu Cang said with a smile.

"Work?" Xia Shuyue was even more puzzled: "I work here, why go to Erhai Lake to work?"

Xu Cang smiled lightly: "Soon there will be a new airline over Erhai Lake, I will go there, will you go with me?"

Xia Shuyue was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes, which were inlaid with bright stars, bent into crescent moons that enchanted her: "I listen to you!"

Now it was Xu Cang's turn to be a little surprised: "Don't you ask why Erhai suddenly established a new airline, why I am so sure that I can switch from Blue Sky Airlines, and what about the new airline?"

Xia Shuyue didn't answer Xu Cang, but looked at Xu Cang rather distressedly: "Brother, you have something hidden in your heart, right?"

Xu Cang's face froze, and then he smiled wryly: "Do I look like a person who is very worried? Go, don't be late."

"Then I'll go!" Xia Shuyue was about to go into the building, when she suddenly thought of something, she turned her head and said to Xu Cang: "Brother, you don't have to ask me about anything in the future, I will listen to you."

Xu Cang showed a gentle smile and waved his hands: "Got it!"

Seeing that Xu Cang finally smiled from the bottom of his heart, Xia Shuyue stopped procrastinating and walked into the building.

When Xia Shuyue's back completely disappeared from sight, Xu Cang squeezed his face and said to himself, "Do I look sad?"

With a hint of doubt, Xu Cang went upstairs after handing in the documents and went straight to Lu Jinghua's office.

Seeing Xu Cang coming in, Lu Jinghua cut straight to the point: "Xu Cang, you said you asked me to apply for a temporary pass, and I did."

Xu Cang's eyes lit up: "Did you apply?"

"If you come down with a hammer, it was rejected by the security department, and it was not submitted to the airport." Lu Jinghua complained: "I said this thing is unreliable, you don't believe it!"

Xu Cang glanced at Lu Jinghua with some distaste: "If you can't apply, then why did you call me here? It's a waste of time!"

"You kid can't turn your head around! It's not just a temporary pass to enter the airport."

Xu Cang couldn't believe it: "You can go in during the flight, but we can't ignore the flight and think about the 747?"

"No!" Xu Cang suddenly had an idea in his mind: "It is also possible to add a crew!"

Lu Jinghua snapped his fingers: "That's right, it's adding crews! After we pass the security check, let the dispatcher cancel the information of our adding crews, and then let the infield car take us to that plane 4724."

"It's that simple?" Xu Cang thought about it carefully, and it was really feasible: "Then quickly add the crew!"

"Add it, I've already had someone add it." Seeing Xu Cang's excited look, Lu Jinghua immediately felt refreshed. The feeling of suppressed IQ made him feel a sense of pride, and he even started to speak. They are all very stiff: "But there is a small problem. I asked, the plane will not be grounded until after 03:30 in the morning, and our latest flight takes off after [-]:[-], so we It may take more than three hours to wait on the tarmac, no problem?"

Plus crews can indeed go through the security check, but they must go in before takeoff.Otherwise, after the departure time, the security personnel may not let you in if they find that the time does not match.This is the disadvantage of using the added unit to pass the security check!If there is a temporary pass, there is no such problem.

At this time, Xu Cang didn't care about waiting for more than three hours, since he could get in, what bicycle would he need?
He patted his chest: "No problem!"

Lu Jinghua sneered: "You're fine. My wife and children are waiting at home, but I have to stay up with you at night. Why don't you say so?"

Xu Cang laughed loudly: "When the company sends me the reward of 9211, I will treat you to dinner."

"You are quite good at borrowing flowers to offer Buddha."

"No money!" Xu Cang rarely showed a shy expression: "But if it's just this matter, you can talk about it on the phone. Why did you call me here?"

"Because someone wants to see you." As he said that, Lu Jinghua took out a document from his desk and threw it to Xu Cang: "The bureau document just sent over, the person who sent this document said that he wanted to see you."

"Do you still send the documents manually these days?" Xu Cang took the documents, and saw the words AVIC and ARJ21 on the cover.

Of course Xu Cang knew about the ARJ21. This is a domestically developed regional airliner with only 737 seats and a maximum take-off weight of just over 70 tons. Compared with this, the maximum take-off weight of the [-] can reach more than [-] tons. .This shows how miniature this type of aircraft is.

"This is a promotional document from the bureau, asking if we are willing to purchase this type of aircraft, and if so, we can provide convenience in the application for its supporting routes."

Xu Cang remembered that ARJ21 should start to be developed at this time, and it is normal to start looking for buyers.

Most aircraft are not developed and then found a buyer, so the risk is too great.Generally, before the development, the potential buyers will be notified of the approximate situation of the aircraft and asked about their willingness to purchase. If the buyers give good feedback, then the actual development work will begin.

ARJ21 is self-developed in China, and it is expected that the Bureau will help promote it for the purpose of protecting its own products.

Xu Cang is quite familiar with this aircraft. This aircraft is not only available for passenger transport, but also for cargo.It's just that Xu Cang didn't have a high opinion of this aircraft. There's nothing he can do about it. This aircraft is a product of the initial stage of the domestic civil aviation research and development industry.

Xu Cang just glanced at it, and then closed the document: "You mean that the person who sent this document is looking for me, is it someone from the bureau?"

"I don't know, it should be! This document has a fresh seal from the General Administration, so it can't be wrong." Lu Jinghua waved his hand: "Whoever he is, go and meet him, he can still be kidnapped in the company ? The bureau’s face still needs to be taken care of.”

Xu Cang thought about it for the same reason, so he threw the document back to Lu Jinghua: "Where is the other person?"

"It's in the reception room on the first floor. It's an old man."

Xu Cang nodded: "Well, then I'll go and have a look."

When going downstairs, Xu Cang pondered for a while, but still couldn't think of anyone from the bureau looking for him.Except for his master, he didn't seem to know anyone from the bureau at this time.The people who investigated 9211 before had no reason to go and come back. Even if they came here again for 9211, it shouldn't be for the reason of sending documents.

Not long after, Xu Cang arrived at the reception room on the first floor.In the huge reception room, there was only one person with gray hair and a gray coat sitting.Xu Cang could tell at a glance that this person should be the one Lu Jinghua mentioned.

Walking closer, Xu Cang saw that the old man's face was full of grooves, his skin was like old tree bark, and there were some age spots, which made him look old.

"Mister, I'm Xu Cang, are you looking for me?"

The old man didn't know if he had been waiting for a long time just now, and he was a little distracted, and he didn't notice the person beside him until Xu Cang made a sound.

He glanced at Xu Cang and smiled, "Yes, sit down!"

As he spoke, he signaled Xu Cang to sit on the opposite chair.Xu Cang did not refuse, but sat down and asked: "Mr., did we know each other before? I don't seem to have any impression."

The old man looked very kind: "Your friend must not know me, this is the first time we have met."

"I'll just say it!" Xu Cang looked at the old man carefully, and for some reason, he felt that he had seen the old man somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it. This feeling was very uncomfortable: "Mr. , what do you want me to do?"

The old man smiled: "It's not a big deal, it's just that we have arrived in the southwest. I heard that there have been a lot of incidents here recently, but the crew has handled it well. Feiyu's plane was hit by a bird strike and both engines stalled." , and the recent incident of your company's 9211, my friends are all on it, it's really scary for young people."

Xu Cang scratched his head embarrassingly: "The recent 9211 incident is mainly due to the captain."

"Is that Captain Tan Heling?" The old man shook his head: "I just chatted with him for a while, and I feel that he is not the kind of person who can make such an exquisite decision. Little friend, is there something hidden in it?"

Although the old man's eyes were cloudy, they possessed a magical power that seemed to penetrate people's hearts.Xu Cang choked slightly, but remained silent.

"Don't panic, little friend, I'm just talking casually." The old man smiled lightly, and quickly exposed the topic that made Xu Cang feel embarrassed, but changed the subject: "When you came over, did your leader have any questions?" Didn't show you the document I brought over?"

"Does the old man mean ARJ21?"

The old man nodded: "Yes, what do you think of that plane?"

Of course Xu Cang knew how the plane was, but he couldn't say clearly: "Old man, I'm just a pilot, how can I know if the plane is good or not, and I've never flown ARJ21, it should be pretty good."

"No, this plane won't work!" The old man suddenly seemed to be a bit old: "I'm not afraid of my friends' jokes. If it wasn't for the bureau's endorsement of this plane, I feel that I might not be able to sell a single one. Aircraft like ARJ21 There are better options internationally, such as E190. Hey, ARJ21 actually doesn’t have any competitive advantage at all.”

For some reason, the words spoken by the old man were full of desolation and helplessness, even as an outsider, Xu Cang could feel it deeply.

Xu Cang didn't know how to answer this kind of words.

"Mister, are you from the Bureau?" Xu Cang asked suddenly, "I wonder if I can ask the name of the old gentleman. What is the purpose of coming here this time?"

"My name is Chen Jinwu. I'm from the bureau, I guess." The old man called Chen Jinwu fell silent, then said with a little apology: "This time I came to the Southwest to meet such a genius, so A thought came to me. In the future, if our country develops a large airliner, not a 21-seat one like the ARJ737, but a [-]-sized one, would you be interested in participating in the test flight?"

Xu Cang was taken aback: "The old man asked me to be a test pilot for a large domestic airliner?"

Speaking of this, Chen Jinwu's face flashed a gloomy look: "It's not that I'm asking for it now, maybe the domestically-made passenger plane is just a mirror image, and the horoscope has not been written yet, and I may never see it in my life. The test flight is all based on small things." You can't force your wish."

Xu Cang couldn't help being silent, he probably guessed who the person in front of him was, so he thought about this question very seriously.

Seeing that Xu Cang was really thinking about this matter, Chen Jinwu immediately said, "My friend, don't have any burdens. This is not the task of the bureau or any official organization. You are not obliged to participate. I am just asking for your opinion in a private capacity."

"I know!" Xu Cang nodded: "Old man, I am definitely not able to do it now, I still have a lot of things to do. Up to five years, after five years I will be at your disposal."

Chen Jinwu was obviously stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, looking very happy: "Okay! Five years! If I'm still alive in five years, and if the domestically-made large passenger jet project is really approved in five years, I will come back to you again. .”

With that said, Chen Jinwu stood up: "Little friend, I haven't been this happy for a long time, I hope we will meet again by fate."

After finishing the words, Chen Jinwu dusted off his clothes, and left without hesitation, extremely chic.

But within two steps, Xu Cang suddenly stopped Chen Jinwu: "Mr.!"

Chen Jinwu paused, turned around, and was full of doubts: "Is there anything else you want to tell me, little friend?"

"Go to Shangfei!" Xu Cang said sincerely: "Don't stay in Chengfei, go to Shangfei! Zaifei may have fulfilled your wish."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Jinwu's pupils were shocked: "Little friend!"

This time Xu Cang didn't speak any more, even lowered his head and stopped looking at Chen Jinwu, as if what he just said didn't come from his mouth.

After a brief shock, Chen Jinwu didn't ask Xu Cang, but let out a burst of meaningful laughter: "Okay, the old man will remember, see you in the future."

After a while of footsteps, Xu Cang finally raised his head. The reception room was empty at the moment, and there was no figure of Chen Jinwu.

For some reason, Xu Cang suddenly sighed heavily: "He should be less than 60 years old now, why is he aging like this?"

That's right, Xu Cang recognized who Chen Jinwu was!

Even if the domestic civil aviation began to enter the golden age in the future, it was all occupied by Airbus and Boeing in that era. There was never a large domestic passenger aircraft until the appearance of the C919.

And Chen Jinwu is the chief designer of C919!
