Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 135 My luck has always been good! (Please subscribe!)
"Teacher, it's useless for you to go." Xu Cang wanted to call Li Hongming to stop.Just looking at Li Hongming's face, he was really afraid that Li Hongming would go down and conflict with the people from Aviation Oil.

Wu Taiming quickly pushed Xu Cang: "Catch up, and nothing will happen."

At this time, someone had to watch the cockpit, so Xu Cang could only follow.

Xu Cang naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, grabbed the reflective vest, and quickly chased after him.

When he got down to the airfield, Xu Cang looked at the oil truck, but he didn't find that Li Hongming had a refueling master.At this moment, there were two crew members in plain clothes standing on the airfield. These people all went back to their hometown in Tianning on vacation.

Since these people didn't have checked luggage, the company thoughtfully arranged an infield car for them, so that they didn't need to go to the terminal building, but directly sent them outside.

Xu Cang looked around but did not find any trace of Li Hongming, and was so anxious that he was almost sweating.At this time, one of the girls who was waiting for the train shouted to Xu Cang, "Brother, are you looking for the captain?"

"Well, did you see that?"

The man pointed towards the entrance of the airport cafeteria on the opposite side of the corridor bridge: "Here we go."

Xu Cang looked in the direction he was pointing for a moment, and sure enough, he found Master Chef and Li Hongming who had already entered the aisle.After thanking the girl who joined the crew, Xu Cang hurried away, and as soon as he entered the aisle, he heard Li Hongming say impatiently: "Just now our company has called and said that the debt will be settled as soon as possible."

"Captain, there's really nothing I can do. I'm just following orders, so don't make things difficult for me." The refueling master was made quite uncomfortable by Li Hongming's aggressive posture, and he didn't dare to refute Li Hongming too fiercely.If the crew got angry and sued him on the on-site command frequency, he would have to walk around?
After Xu Cang came in, he was just about to persuade Li Hongming, it is really unkind to put all the pressure on a cheering master who is completely incapable of making decisions.

However, Li Hongming said directly: "Okay, I won't embarrass you. I saw on the plane that there was still 1 pounds of remaining fuel on the plane, so I needed to add almost [-] pounds. The [-] pounds of No. [-] fuel is How much?"

"Ah?" The refueling master didn't understand Li Hongming's meaning for a while: "Captain, why are you asking this?"

Li Hongming was very impatient: "I buy oil, I pay on the spot, and you add 3 pounds of No. [-] fuel to me, so it will be okay, right?"

"Captain, do you mean to buy fuel separately?" The refueling master couldn't believe his ears. It was the first time he saw such an operation, and he turned his head to look at Xu Cang who came in in a daze.

Xu Cang immediately stopped and said, "Teacher, the [-] pounds of fuel cost tens of thousands. How can the airlines lose money?"

At this time, the salary of pilots has not skyrocketed, even at the level of Li Hongming's instructor, this is almost his monthly salary.

"What do you know? If the plane fails to leave, the company will lose more money than this. Don't worry about personal gains and losses, but consider the overall interests of the company."

Xu Cang was startled, and immediately felt that Li Hongming's awareness was too high, and he was able to think about problems from the perspective of the company.Many people can actually understand this truth, but in fact, if employees take the initiative to consider for the company, sometimes not only will they not be rewarded, but the company will take it for granted, and even under extreme conditions, their own interests will still be damaged.

Therefore, under the instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, many people still tend to consider their own interests first.

To be honest, Li Hongming's move really shocked Xu Cang too much.However, Li Hongming was too lazy to explain the truth to Xu Cang, and immediately continued to the refueling master: "The debt between our company and you has nothing to do with me. I only care about my plane. Buy [-] pounds of jet fuel, that's fine, I can pay for it now."

As he said that, Li Hongming took out a bank card directly: "As long as you agree, you can swipe the card on the spot."

Xu Cang and the refueling master looked at each other. After a long time, the refueling master wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Captain, to tell you the truth, this is the first time I have seen this. We are all doing business with the airline company. Are we alone? Selling to individuals, I don't know yet. If you don't mind, I will report to the higher-ups."

Many large civil aviation companies only do large-scale business. How can there be any retailing?Not to mention the cheering master, Xu Cang has never seen such a vigorous operation.It's normal for the refueling master to ask for instructions.

"It's okay, just go and report as soon as possible. We don't have much time, so it's better to hurry up." Li Hongming nodded.

The communication with the refueling master does not use the mobile phone, but the walkie-talkie on the refueling truck, so Xu Cang and Li Hongming followed the driver back to the fuel truck.

The refueling master told his team leader about the situation, but the boss was also stunned, and bluntly said that he had to ask for instructions and asked him to wait.

When the refueling master was talking on the phone, Xu Cang and the two stood beside him, naturally they had a panoramic view of the refueling master's request for instructions.At this time, Li Hongming was not in a hurry. Some procedures had to be followed, which he could understand.

So, the three of them wandered by the oil truck, waiting for the reply from above, while chatting casually.

"I said Captain, your business is so good, why do you owe so much money, and make it so troublesome now?"

Li Hongming originally planned to explain a few words casually, but he quickly discovered the problem, and asked with a frown, "How do you know that our business is good?"

The refueling master can't see the attendance rate, so why should he swear that their business is good?Xu Cang also noticed the strangeness, and looked curiously at Chef Chef, to see how he would answer.

How did you know that the refueling master turned towards the covered bridge and murmured: "The flight to Qizhou here is very popular, and passengers who can't buy tickets are often found gathered at the check-in counter. This is nothing new, the airport Anyone here will know."

"Is there such a thing?" Xu Cang was quite surprised. The Tianning-Qizhou route doesn't look like the kind of popular route. Why is it so hard to get a ticket?
However, Xu Cang was only surprised, but had no other emotions.However, Li Hongming was different. He directly left Xu Cang and ran towards the ladder on the side of the covered bridge.

"No, what's the situation?" Xu Cang really couldn't figure out why Li Hongming thought it was time to come out.He spoke to the refueling master, and then followed closely.

As soon as Xu Cang got on the corridor bridge, he heard Li Hongming's roar: "Where's the ground suit?"

I saw Li Hongming standing at the door of the cabin, walking down the corridor bridge in a daze, and asked in confusion: "Captain, what's the matter, do you want to board a passenger?"

"No, no, wait for the passenger." Li Hongming asked the ground server a little excitedly: "Let me ask you, do people often fail to buy tickets for the Tianning-Qizhou route?"

"That's right!" The ground suit scratched her head, although she didn't quite understand why the captain would ask such a thing, she still confirmed: "There are a lot of people flying to Qizhou here, and there are probably a lot of people out there who can't buy it." People who have tickets. As long as you go back, it’s full of customers, and it’s overbooked a lot, and people will be driven down later.”

Now that the refueling master and the ground service are saying that, it seems to be true.Li Hongming rolled his eyes and asked doubtfully, "Why are there so many people in Ningfei Qizhou today?"

"How do I know this, I don't know. This route is full every day, but you are flying one by one every day, and you don't add flights, and other companies don't come to fly." The ground service laughed: "This I have dealt with the problem of overbooking many times on this route, and I know it very well.”

"You're right, you're right." Gritting his teeth, Li Hongming threw the card directly to Xu Cang, pointed to Xu Cang and said, "Go down to the oil truck and watch. He started filling up the gas. If you want to swipe the card to pay, you just swipe it."

Xu Cang hurriedly returned the card to Li Hongming: "Teacher, I told the master. If he has any news, he will come up and tell me. Teacher, what are you doing?"

"What else can I do, make money!" Li Hongming took the card that Xu Cangsai returned, and instead of talking to Xu Cang, he directly called the number one on duty.

Perhaps the number one on duty saved Li Hongming's cell phone number. As soon as the call was connected, the number one on duty said quickly: "Teacher Li, I'm already communicating with you as soon as possible. The hard work will be settled soon."

"You're fooling me. After a set of procedures, the day lily is cold. I will pay for the gas when I go back this time, and you don't have to worry about it."

The number one on duty said anxiously: "How can this work, teacher, you can't pay, how can there be any talk of letting you pay for it?"

"Now is the time for mothers-in-law and mothers. When you go through the process of clearing the debts, there will be ghosts in the back, so it will be settled." Li Hongming said firmly: "Besides, I didn't call you because of this." Something. Just now I heard from the airport staff that the Tianning-Qizhou route is hard to find, how did the marketing department do the route analysis, and how many opportunities to make money were wasted?"

"What, it's hard to get a ticket for the Tianning-Qizhou route, why is it like this?" To be honest, even the number one on duty didn't expect this route to be so popular: "Then teacher, what do you mean?"

Li Hongming snorted, "How can there be any reason for our Shandong Airlines not to make money?"

"Teacher, do you mean adding additional flights temporarily?" Duty No. [-] was also very active, and thought for a while: "However, our company does not have any extra planes today. Teacher, as you know, our company's planes The queue is so full that we can’t make room.”

Xu Cang was standing next to Li Hongming. Even though Li Hongming hadn't turned on the speakerphone, Xu Cang could vaguely hear the voice on the phone.However, even if he didn't hear it, he could probably guess that Li Hongming wanted to add a flight temporarily.

In theory, this kind of temporary overtime operation is feasible.In the case of Shandong Airlines' almost non-existent extra capacity, this is simply hopeless.

However, Li Hongming said coldly: "Shandong Airlines can develop so fast because of hard work. This is very difficult, I don't know, but if we retreat from difficulties, then why should we develop at Shandong Airlines?"

As soon as this remark was made, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone, and finally the number one on duty gritted his teeth and said, "Teacher, don't hang up, just wait a moment."

While Li Hongming was waiting, the refueling master came up to the covered bridge, holding a POS machine he got from somewhere, and a slip in his hand.

After he came up, he identified Li Hongming's location, and said, "Captain, the higher-ups have agreed. However, before refueling, you have to pay the money first, and there are some forms that you need to sign, and you have to collect the receipts."

"En." Li Hongming directly threw the phone to Xu Cang to free up his hands, and then told Xu Cang: "Turn on the hands-free."

Xu Cang took the phone and pressed the speakerphone, while Li Hongming started to pay and sign the form.

After a few minutes, a voice finally came from the silent mobile phone: "Teacher, I found out that our plane 5123 is flying to Cangjiang, and the transit time in Cangjiang is two hours long. Station. The subsequent transit time is also arranged on the basis of one hour. I informed the follow-up crews to shorten it to a standard of four to 10 minutes, and they should be able to catch up. I asked the traffic control to change the plan and install it directly in front of the Cangjiang project. One Tianning back and forth. All subsequent flights will be reported as delayed, and the last flight will be delayed by less than an hour, which is enough for the maintenance flight."

Xu Cang was dumbfounded, and delayed the front of the follow-up flight, and then compressed the transit time, freeing up the overtime space for Tianning-Qizhou.It can only be said that the operation of the number one on duty is really too violent.

Li Hongming, who was fiddling with the documents, shouted at the mobile phone that Xu Cang was holding: "That's it! Let the follow-up crew fly faster in the sky, don't dawdling in the sky, maybe they can get back in the end .”

However, this was not over yet, and the number one on duty raised another question: "Teacher, the matter of the plane has been settled for the time being. But I asked the dispatcher, and we have no one. The backup was all used up this morning. I checked the ones who are not flying, and the time is not right, it is because the rest period is not enough.”

"Our company has so many flights, and everyone is stuck in order to fly, how can someone cooperate to catch the flight?" Li Hongming thought for a while: "If we go back and continue to fly back and forth to Tianning, is there enough time? "

"Teacher, I asked the dispatcher to calculate the time just now. If you fly like this, you will easily exceed the time limit. It's too dangerous."

If the crew timed out due to some irresistible or unexpected circumstances, such as when taking off, it will obviously not be timed out.But because the thunderstorm was flying around in the sky, it finally landed overtime, which belongs to the category that can be explained.

But before take-off, it has been calculated that the crew is very likely to time out, and the crew is allowed to take off. In the end, it really timed out.

Don't look at the Tianning-Qizhou section for more than an hour, but you need to add another round trip, which is quite a lot of time.Moreover, the most terrible thing is that, unlike Xu Cang, Li Hongming and Wu Taiming had already flown for a while before flying this flight, so there is very little margin in the airtime.

The company couldn't find anyone who could cooperate with catching the flight, and Li Hongming and the others couldn't fly, which was quite embarrassing.However, Li Hongming didn't give up: "It's definitely not good for crews who just rest. If you want to find those who are on long vacations, such as annual leave, their rest period should be fine. By the way, isn't that kid Zhang Heng?" He returned to his hometown after taking his annual leave, his hometown is in Tianning, let him join in, the operation of two captains can extend the limit of space time."

"Will this be bad, teacher?" The number one on duty was a little worried, and he was a little embarrassed to drag people who were on annual leave to work.

As a result, Li Hongming said directly: "You don't need to worry about it, I will call Zhang Heng later. Can the temporary flight application be settled?"

"It's done!" The number one on duty said with great certainty: "The bureau building is just across the street. If they don't agree, I'll just go to their office and rely on it. Don't worry, teacher! I'll definitely settle this matter."

"Okay!" Li Hongming also paid the money here, and finished the receipt: "I will work hard on my side right away, you can arrange to go, and I will call Zhang Heng."

"Okay!" The number one on duty immediately said, "Teacher, I'm waiting for your good news."

After speaking, the number one on duty hung up the phone directly.

Li Hongming asked the refueling master to refuel first, but he didn't follow, but directly called the captain Zhang Heng mentioned just now.I don't know if Li Hongming did it on purpose, but he still kept the hands-free status.

Soon the phone was connected, and a young man's voice came from the opposite side: "Teacher, what's wrong?"

"Xiao Zhang, the company has a flight and can't find anyone. You are in Tianning, can you come to Tianning Airport?"

"Yes!" Zhang Heng hardly hesitated: "My documents are all in the car, but the clothes are at home. If I go home to get the clothes, it will be a waste of time."

Li Hongming: "How long have you been at the airport?"

"Driving up to two hours."

"Then don't worry about the clothes, just check your documents. At worst, you will be caught by the bureau and fined, and I will pay for you." Li Hongming said arrogantly: "You tell the dispatcher to add you to the plan now. When you get to the airport soon , call Tianning’s airport agency and ask him to send the mission statement to the security checkpoint.”

Zhang Heng immediately said: "Teacher, I know all this!"

"Okay, then you can figure it out, see you later." Li Hongming hung up the phone, suddenly remembered something, looked over the cabin door, and shouted to Li Feifei, the purser in the front cabin workshop: "Purser, If another Tianning is added later, will you run out of time?"

Li Hongming remembered that this set of flight attendants may have already flown two stages in front, and if two more stages were added later, together with the original Tianning-Qizhou, it would be six stages.

In general, cabin crew have more relaxed rest rules than flight crew.But no matter how loose it is, it can't handle being so pretentious!Moreover, Li Hongming also knows that the flight attendants of Shandong Airlines are not rich, and it is likely that it is difficult to find them.

Just now, when he was talking about things with the number one on duty, he just focused on the plane and the flight crew, and directly forgot about the flight crew.

Li Feifei silently calculated in her heart and shook her head: "No, we must add people, otherwise we will definitely time out."

The most routine operation for crew members to extend their duty period is to add people.The duty period of the whole team usually increases with the increase of the number of people, of course, this is not unlimited.

"Is it easy to find someone?" Li Hongming asked.

Li Feifei was silent for a moment, did not answer, ran to the door of the side door of the covered bridge in a hurry, went out and looked down, and found that the crew member was still waiting on the apron, so she called down: "Wang Qian, you Come up."

The girl who pointed out Li Hongming's direction to Xu Cang just now ran up when she heard Li Feifei's voice: "What's wrong, sister?"

"The company works overtime temporarily, and the manpower can't take care of it. You can cooperate with the flight for two more flights, okay?" Li Feifei said: "I will explain the situation to the team later, and ask them to communicate with the human resources to compensate you for the vacation time."

However, Wang Qian didn't care at all, and just waved her hand: "I don't care about this. It's just that my sister, when is the extra flight, I have to go back to the company's attendance building to change clothes!"

The pilot is hiding in the cockpit anyway, and the passengers can't see what to wear.Flight attendants can't wear casual clothes for service, right? How decent is this?
"You will go back to Qizhou with us in a while. We will change the plane, and you will follow the infield car back to the company to change your clothes. After changing, you can go directly to the field. Don't worry about the things on the plane, just come back on the plane before takeoff, can it be done? ?” Li Hongming asked.

Wang Qian nodded heavily: "Captain, I can definitely catch up!"

"Okay!" Li Hongming directly made a decision, and said to Li Feifei: "Talk to the cabin department. Let them prepare the flight food and other things in advance, so that we don't have to wait for some messy things. Let's This time the time is very urgent, everything should be done quickly, understand?"

Li Feifei nodded: "Understood!"

From the beginning to the end, Xu Cang watched from the side.It was really the first time he had seen this kind of company.After a simple idea came into being, from the plane, the flight crew, to the cabin crew, time adjustments, and finally to the temporary flight application, a flight was abruptly made, just to make money.

The entire Shandong Airlines staff, from leaders to employees, from flight attendants to flight attendants, are like wolves with blood-red eyes, tirelessly chasing profit.

After the plane landed in Qizhou, Xu Cang got down.Because in the back, there will be another second captain on the plane, so it would be redundant for Xu Cang to stay on top.

It was only afterwards that Xu Cang found out that after the flight, the company not only returned the fuel money that Li Hongming had paid in advance, but also gave him an extra sum as a reward.Zhang Heng, who cooperated with the catching flight, received transportation subsidies and incentives for catching the flight, while flight attendant Wang Qian received an additional three days of paid leave.

Xu Cang finally figured out why Shanhang Airlines developed so fast.Employees spare no effort to create benefits for the company, and the company does not hesitate to reward employees, thus forming a very good cycle, and the whole company is a scene of prosperity.

Shanhang's methods of making money are as violent as bandits. However, it is this method that makes Xu Cang extremely shocked that creates the myth of Shanhang's rapid rise.

Even that night, when Xu Cang was lying on the bed, various images of the day were still flashing in his mind.

Previously, when he met Deng Wenjia for the first time, Deng Wenjia said that the secret of Shandong Airlines is human subjective initiative.At that time, Xu Cang sneered a little. He believed that people's subjective initiative has limits and must follow objective laws.

But looking at it now, Xu Cang felt that he still underestimated the power of people.Sure enough, it was right to come to Shandong Airlines this time!

The next morning, Xu Cang went directly to the company, successfully completed the Airbus theory test, and then received an arrangement to go to a simulator center in the suburbs of Qizhou City for an initial inspection in the afternoon.

Xu Cang had lunch at the company, and then took a taxi to the simulator center without stopping.When he arrived at the simulator center, he found that an Airbus co-pilot who cooperated with him this time had arrived.

Since Shandong Airlines itself does not have a reserve of Airbus pilots, National University Airlines’ behavior of forcing Airbus planes is too abrupt, which leads to the fact that Shandong Airlines does not have enough Airbus pilots at all.

Fortunately, National University Airlines has a bit of conscience and dispatched some Airbus pilots to Shandong Airlines for emergency.After Shandong Airlines' own Airbus pilots are trained, they will be withdrawn to Air China one after another.

And the co-pilot who cooperated with Xu Cang this time was sent by Air China.

When Xu Cang arrived, the co-pilot was looking for food in the rest hall on the second floor.I have to say that in 2000, the dessert drinks in the simulator center were quite good.

There was no one in the hall at first, but when Xu Cang came over, the co-pilot heard the movement.Looking back curiously, he saw Xu Cang and greeted him: "Is that Xu Cang?"

Xu Cang put the flying box aside: "Yes! Brother, I thank you for your cooperation today."

"It's not hard, it's only two hours." The co-pilot was very enthusiastic, and even called Xu Cang to come and eat together.

Xu Cang didn't like desserts, so he just made himself a cup of tea, but the co-pilot was sullen, wishing he could wipe out all the desserts piled up on the table.

Xu Cang drank all the tea boredly, and the teacher in charge of the inspection did not come until the scheduled time for commenting.So Xu Cang asked the co-pilot: "Brother, do you have any preferences for the inspector this time?"

"Teacher Shi, he doesn't have any special requirements, you just need to operate more carefully, and the requirements for the procedure are not high." The co-pilot looked at his watch and waved to Xu Cang again: "Don't wait! Teacher Shi never commented. , He must have come here under the pressure of the inspection time, come over to eat first, this crisp is delicious."

Generally speaking, a simulator should be divided into pre-class commentary, training and after-class commentary.If it is a simulator test, the pre-class commentary time is relatively short, mainly to explain the requirements of the test and conduct some theoretical oral tests.

However, many old teachers are too lazy to conduct oral examinations, and directly ignore this link, and will directly enter the inspection items.If you look at it this way, Teacher Shi is still a more traditional old-school inspector, and he doesn't do any fancy things.

Xu Cang was never worried about flying normally.His only worry is that the inspectors have too many tricks, and the possibility of capsizing in the gutter is not gone.Judging from the co-pilot's description, this inspector is an inspector who puts more emphasis on manipulation than procedure, and has a relatively traditional style of work and standard of judgment. This is undoubtedly a good thing.

"Brother, you can eat, I can't eat anything too sweet." Xu Cang waved his hand, declining the kindness of the co-pilot.

Suddenly, he found a middle-aged man in a white shirt coming out of the computer room.The man saw Xu Cang and asked tentatively, "Are you waiting for the simulator that starts at two o'clock? The second machine?"

The co-pilot pinched a piece of bun and asked with some doubts: "Well, what's the matter?"

The middle-aged man apologized a little: "I'm sorry, there is something wrong with the second machine, and your simulator may have to be rescheduled."

"Huh?" Xu Cang asked, "What's wrong?"

"There is a problem with the balance calculation program of the No. [-] machine, and it will not be corrected for a while."

The co-pilot is knowledgeable: "There is a problem with the balance, how much is it off? If it is not too far off, it can barely fly."

The plane was tilted. Although it was uncomfortable to fly, it was not impossible to fly.

Xu Cang didn't speak, he agreed with the co-pilot's statement.

"It's not a question of how much it is off." The middle-aged man scratched his head: "The center of gravity of this plane is constantly changing, and it can't be fixed no matter what, so I can't say how much it is off."

"Good guy, the plane's center of gravity keeps changing, so how can this plane fly?" The co-pilot finally stopped eating, and persuaded Xu Cang: "Brother, the plane's center of gravity keeps changing, but the plane can't fly. How about flying with you guys?" Tell me, change the time?"

The center of gravity keeps changing, which means that the aircraft will never be corrected. In such a situation, it is estimated that the autopilot cannot be connected. It is really exhausting to fly, and it may not be able to fly down.

Before Xu Cang answered, the co-pilot's cell phone suddenly ding-dong.He took out his mobile phone and saw that there was a new email. When he opened it, it turned out that it was the next flight plan.

After watching for a while, the co-pilot was startled, and then smiled at Xu Cang: "Brother, we are going to fly together later, the plan is out. However, we are going to fly the 1899 plane, and the fuel flow rate of this plane has always been low." Question, why did it get sent to you and fly for us? Brother, do you think our luck is too bad? "

Xu Cang shook his head very solemnly: "It should have nothing to do with me, I have always been very lucky!"
