Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 200 Shocking CAA!I saw God! (Please subscribe!)
Pre-flight preparations for Erhai-Jinmen flight 9113, in the flight preparation room.

During this period of time, although it is not possible to move to the new base building for the time being, Qin Xin thoughtfully asked someone to renovate the small courtyard of the temporary base, at least not to feel that they had a hard life.

Today the flight preparation room is arranged in a separate room.Of course, that is a room in the literal sense, not a huge room like the Blue Sky flight preparation room that can accommodate a full twelve desks.

There are only two desks in the preparation room, usually one for the flight and one for the flight attendants.It seems that the allocation is good, but in fact, if there are two groups of flights coming in at the same time, this room is not enough.

However, Spring Airlines currently has relatively few flights, and the time for pre-flight preparations is staggered, so there is no need to worry about the embarrassing situation of two groups squeezing into one room for the time being.

However, when the 21 ARJ[-]s of China National Airlines arrive later, this room will definitely not be enough.Because if there is no accident, National University Airlines will not only send the plane, but also send it with the crew. Spring and Summer Airlines will usher in a wave of explosive growth in personnel.

According to Qin Xin's wishes, she would find a way to free up another room as a preparation room.However, the rooms in the small courtyard of the base are relatively tight, and there is no definite number on how to adjust them.

In the preparation room, Xu Cang was bored looking at the release documents.There was a long table in the corner of the room, and there were three people sitting there, that is, the flight medical seat, the dispatch seat, and the information seat.

Thanks to the generosity of Muhua Airlines, Spring Airlines finally organized a decent team.However, compared with regular airlines, these configurations are still a bit shabby.

There is nothing special to pay attention to at Jinmen Airport. It is a relatively normal plain airport with a single runway.Xu Cang just read it once, then threw the release information away, and began to doze off.

Sure enough, when it was time to go to work, it was like taking sleeping pills.

At another table, the flight attendants are still having a lively meeting. There are a lot of them, and they need to assign work in advance, so it is more troublesome than flying.And in the crew this time, Xia Shuyue was on the list.

In the past period of time, Xu Cang has not seen Xia Shuyue.Goodbye now, Xia Shuyue is no longer the newcomer who just entered the industry, and she has a calm temperament.

However, Xu Cang found that Xia Shuyue was always looking at him, which made Xu Cang a little embarrassed.

He was sleepy at first, but after reading the materials and finishing his business, Lu Jinghua was on the phone again, and Xu Cang was even more lonely by himself, so he simply lay down on the table, still thinking about the introduction of the plane.

If you really have money, you can go to a foreign aircraft leasing company to rent a plane or buy a plane directly. The problem is that the company’s finances are tight now, and one dollar is eager to break into two. If it can be cheaper, it must be cheaper.

However, both Boeing and Muhua let themselves take advantage of it, and I am afraid that it is not easy to make money from these two sides.

"I knew I would have fished harder back then." Xu Cang sighed sadly, as he was really too kind.

Of course, if the intra-provincial routes develop well in the later period, it may be seriously considered to spend some money to rent planes abroad. After all, if you buy a plane, firstly, the initial capital investment will be large, and secondly, you will have to wait for the goods to arrive, which will not solve the urgent need.

Xu Cang's chin rested on the table, his arms were hanging down, and his body followed the swivel chair and twisted left and right like a caterpillar, which was boring to the naked eye.

At that moment, Lu Jinghua, who had been on the phone for a long time outside, finally came in with a smile on his face, not knowing why he was so happy.

I saw Lu Jinghua put the phone aside, sat down and said to Xu Cang mysteriously: "After entering the door, I will go to the freight building to pick up something, good stuff."

"You have something in the freight building? How did you get there?" Xu Cang was a little surprised.

"Oh, my friend sent me something from abroad. I entered the customs at Jinmen and just arrived at the freight building. Anyway, we have a long transit time, so we don't need to send it from Jinmen to Erhai. During the transit, I Get it yourself." Lu Jinghua explained.

Xu Cang smiled and said, "What is it?"

"I've said good things, and I'll open your eyes when the time comes." Lu Jinghua seemed a little excited, which made Xu Cang also interested.

Lu Jinghua was not bragging about the item sent from abroad, but concentrated on reading the information.Although the route to Tianjin this time is unremarkable, it is the maiden voyage after all, so a certain amount of respect must be given.

This time, both the flight crew and the cabin crew came earlier, and it turned out that there was still some time left after Lu Jinghua finished reading the clearance documents.The flight crew was still coordinating, and Lu Jinghua was not in a hurry, so he put aside the clearance materials and started chatting about the matter of National Airline sending 21 ARJ[-]s to his side.

"The twenty ARJ21s of China National Airlines have settled down?" Lu Jinghua leaned back in his chair, looking very relaxed.

Xu Cang hummed: "Yeah, what's the matter?"

"However, I don't think there is enough space for the apron at Erhai Airport. There are four bridge seats and four remote seats, which is only eight. There are not only twenty ARJ21s behind our company, but also There are some 737s, it's not enough anyway?" Lu Jinghua's expression is quite serious, this is indeed a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

Erhai Airport is too small to support the needs of an airline's base airport.However, one of the most important reasons is that Spring Airlines is developing too fast.

Originally planned to have only three 737s, this fleet size must be able to be carried by Erhai Airport.But Xu Cang bought a total of twenty ARJ21s from Guoda Airlines at once, which is almost a leapfrog development.

Although the ARJ21 is smaller than the 737, it does not mean that one parking bay can be split and divided into two ARJ21s.Of course, Lu Jinghua was also pleasantly surprised by the rapid expansion of the fleet, but with the expansion of the fleet, other aspects should also be matched.

Xu Cang seemed to have a countermeasure already. After Lu Jinghua asked the question, he quickly answered: "I have thought about this. First of all, Erhai Airport must be expanded, not just the runway, the apron and the waiting area. The airport building also needs to be upgraded, otherwise the size of the airport will restrict our development.”

"I heard from Ms. Qin that you intend to pay attention to investing in Jinghong Airport, and even have the idea of ​​privatization. Why, you want to use the same method in Erhai Lake?"

Xu Cang shook his head: "No, the value of Erhai Airport is great, but it is not as good as Jinghong Airport. The future of Jinghong Airport must be firmly in the hands of our Spring and Summer Airlines, so no matter what the difficulty is, as long as there is an opportunity , then Jinghong Airport should be privatized. However, there is no need for Erhai Airport. Cooperative means can be adopted to properly fight for priority, and there is no need to do extreme things.”

"Since you are so optimistic about Jinghong, why didn't you set your base in Jinghong from the very beginning, instead of coming to the first-class Erhai Lake this time?"

Xu Cang clicked his lips: "Go to Jinghong? You also saw that Jinghong Airport doesn't even have a flight procedure, so how do you get there? Jinghong Airport is a piece of precious jade that needs to be nurtured, understand?"

"Yes, it's up to you to say it." Lu Jinghua waved his hand: "What else can you say about the parking lot?"

Xu Cang rolled his eyes: "Our company is currently short of funds, and it is impossible to support Erhai Airport like Jinghong Airport. Therefore, the expansion of Erhai Airport is estimated to be slow. Therefore, we have to put some aircraft in the outstation. Among other things, most ARJ21s are estimated to be placed at Jianchuan Airport. In the future, the center point of the provincial routes will also be in Jianchuan, and placing the aircraft at Jianchuan Airport will save the need for additional scheduling.”

"However, if the planes are placed at Jianchuan Airport, then it is not necessary to build a sub-base in Erhai Lake. There are still a lot of planes, so it will be difficult to manage if we don't build a sub-base?" Lu Jinghua said helplessly: "This is not as good as Set up the company at Jianchuan Airport."

"Anyway, you just don't like the location of Erhai Lake?" Xu Cang hummed: "However, Erhai Lake is indeed a small place. When the company grows, this place will not be able to accommodate the company's headquarters, and it will indeed be relocated. "

"Then why don't you take it one step at a time?"

"One step is in place, how can one step be in place? There are seven base companies in Jianchuan alone, and there is still land left in the airport work area? The land is already occupied by others. If you squeeze in, be careful of being attacked by groups." Xu Cang said: "We don't need to build a sub-base at Jianchuan Airport, it will only be an ordinary overnight point, saving those base airlines in Jianchuan from thinking about it."

"Stay overnight, count as an overnight stay?" Lu Jinghua was a little shocked by Xu Cang's approach: "The workload of the scheduling and planning room is too great."

"No way, we don't have extra money to build a sub-base in Jianchuan, and we really have to consider arousing the disgust of Jianchuan's local airlines, so for the time being, we can only locate Jianchuan Airport by overnight. Scheduling and planning The workload of the office is indeed relatively large, so the salaries of these two positions should be set at the highest point in the industry, and you must find someone with sufficient experience."

Lu Jinghua understood what Xu Cang meant, but it involved another issue: "You are worried about arousing the vigilance of Jianchuan Local Aviation, so you don't even build a branch base in Jianchuan. Is it possible that it will be like this in the future, never? Have you officially entered Jianchuan?"

"As I said, Jianchuan's territory has already been divided, and it would be very awkward to force it in, and it would be easy to be targeted. But if it replaces an original local airline company, the power structure will be different. It will be broken, and the reaction from other airlines will be less drastic."

Lu Jinghua was startled, and then asked in surprise, "You want to replace him? Who?"

Lu Jinghua finally came to his senses and lowered his voice on purpose: "Blue Sky Airlines, your goal is Blue Sky Airlines? It shouldn't be. Although the development of Blue Sky Airlines has slowed down in recent years and internal problems have accumulated, there are no major problems after all. Yes, how did you eat Blue Sky Airlines?"

Lu Jinghua has been the general manager of the flight department of Blue Sky Airlines for a long time, and he knows the internal situation of Blue Sky Airlines like the back of his hand.It is true that Blue Sky Airlines has many problems, and its recent development has not been satisfactory, which is why the company's senior management has rushed to the doctor.However, thanks to the period of rapid growth that Blue Sky Airlines experienced a long time ago, it still has a solid background. If you want to eat Blue Sky Airlines, it is easy to support yourself to death.

"Yes, Blue Sky Airlines has many problems, but which airline has no problems? So, it needs a fuse, a fuse that is fatal enough to detonate the accumulated problems. coming."

"How can there be such an opportunity?"

"Actually, it was a good opportunity for Blue Sky Airlines and Muhua Airlines to jointly operate the 747. However, it involved the S2 switch, and I didn't want to let it go." Xu Cang laughed: "However, it seems that Blue Sky Aviation hasn't learned anything from what happened with the 747. And it's digging a bigger hole for itself, as early as the end of tomorrow."

"The end of next year?" Lu Jinghua's mind was spinning, searching for information about what will happen at the end of next year. Not long after, Lu Jinghua thought of a possibility: "You mean A380?"

Time flies. As expected, the Erhai-Jinmen route does not have any points worth paying attention to. The plane landed at Jinmen Airport smoothly.

After the plane landed and disembarked the passengers, Lu Jinghua was rummaging through his flight case, just like a winter hamster rummaging through his food stock.

Xu Cang had already completed the preparations for the return trip, put the back of the seat down to the lowest position, and lay down all over, seeing Lu Jinghua's busy look: "What are you doing, what are you looking for?"

"Reflective vest, I have to walk a short distance from the airfield below. Oops, I was wearing it when I took off at Erhai Lake to do a round-the-plane inspection, why can't I find it?" Lu Jinghua wanted to stuff his head into the flight case while speaking.

"Oh, don't look for it, use mine first." Xu Cang dug out the reflective vest from his suitcase and threw it on the center console: "Here, are you going to the cargo building? Go. Let me see Now, remember to return the vest when you come back.”

"Tsk!" Lu Jinghua flicked his tongue, searched again, but still couldn't find it, so he gave up logically, and tidied up the wrinkled clothes just now.In terms of managing his own image, Lu Jinghua is still very conscious.

Picking up Xu Cang's reflective vest, Lu Jinghua pulled the seat back and got up to leave: "Return it to you when you're done. If you need to sign anything, just sign it yourself. If you're really unsure, just call me."

"Well, let's go!"

As soon as Xu Cang finished speaking, the figure of the purser appeared at the door of the cockpit.

The flight attendant asked with a smile: "Captain, there is still a lot of time to pass the station. We are going to visit the duty-free shop at the airport. Do you want to go together?"

It is normal for airports in places like Jinmen to have duty-free shops, and the flight crew like to take this opportunity to visit duty-free shops.Lu Jinghua is also used to it. It is routine for the flight attendant to go to the duty-free shop to buy cosmetics and so on. He is very open-minded and waved his hand: "Go, just pay attention to the time, and don't delay work."

"Understood." The flight attendant hurriedly gestured to the flight attendants behind him, indicating that the captain agreed, and then there was a burst of laughter like silver bells in the cabin.

It is said that the beauty is delicious, and most of the flight attendants are still online. This kind of scene looks very seductive.

"Bring a mission statement, lest you are not allowed to enter at the boarding gate." Xu Cang took out a mission statement and handed it to the flight attendant, then pointed to the exit of the corridor bridge: "If there is no one there for you Open the door and call me, I'll call someone on the live frequency."

The purser smiled and called Crescent Moon: "Okay!"

As he said that, Xu Cang saw Xia Shuyue who was a little behind through the crowd, and waved to her with a smile, motioning for Xia Shuyue to come over.At the same time, he glared at Lu Jinghua and motioned him to get out of here.

Lu Jinghua was very witty, and immediately grabbed his reflective vest and ran outside.

When Xia Shuyue came in, Xu Cang looked behind her, and when the other flight attendants walked away, Xu Cang asked, "Go out with the flight attendant later?"

Xia Shuyue nodded: "Our whole group went. Brother, why don't you go?"

"I'm not going. The captain has something to do, so there must be no one on the plane, so I'll stay in the cockpit." As he spoke, Xu Cang smiled and said, "Have you decided to buy something at the duty-free shop in a while? Cosmetics? Most of the children should buy this."

"Me, I don't have anything to buy, I have everything."

Xu Cang raised his eyebrows and raised his voice: "Really?"

Xia Shuyue's eyes dodged a little: "Really."

"Shuyue, do you think I brought you to Erhai Lake to make you suffer?" Xu Cang took out a bank card from his wallet and stuffed it into Xia Shuyue's hand: "The password is 181233, Don’t worry, you can use it. The whole team has passed, and others are buying it. If you don’t buy it, you will be looked down upon. In addition, take the initiative and buy something for the flight attendant. This flight attendant is now the oldest flight attendant in our company. Maybe she will be the first flight attendant inspector in our company. If you have a good relationship with her, it will be easier for you to be promoted to the chief flight attendant in the future. I don’t know much about the situation of your flight attendants, but I think it’s more humane than our flying. Yes, usually pay attention to building a good relationship, it will be beneficial and harmless."

Of course, it doesn't mean that there is no worldly wisdom in flying.It's just that flying is a technical job after all, and technology is the first decisive factor.

Of course, the position of flight attendant also has a lot of technical content, but it is biased towards service after all, so there is more subjectivity in the assessment, so the proportion of sophistication is naturally greater.

Moreover, compared to the authority of the captain, if the purser wants to deliberately embarrass a flight attendant, the method is too cruel.Xia Shuyue is introverted, and Xu Cang doesn't want her to be isolated by the flight attendant group, which will not be beneficial to her later career or even life.

Xia Shuyue grabbed Xu Cang's bank card, a little at a loss, her eyes suddenly turned red.

However, Xu Cang pointed in the direction of the corridor bridge: "Go, everyone in your group is gone."

Xia Shuyue turned around and found that the cabin was empty.

"Brother, do you need to buy something?" Xia Shuyue didn't say anything to refuse, and if she said anything else, it would be hypocritical: "I can bring it for you."

Xu Cang thought for a while: "Bring me some eye cream!"

Xia Shuyue's eyes fell on Xu Cang's eyes: "Brother, don't you need it?"

"I don't need it." Xu Cang laughed: "But I know a little crying bag, and I plan to give it to her."

Xia Shuyue was startled, and immediately understood what Xu Cang was referring to, and a tinge of red appeared on her face.

"Go, I'll take a nap for a while."

After finishing speaking, Xu Cang no longer cared about Xia Shuyue, but lay down on the seat, closed his eyes and meditated.

Xia Shuyue looked at Xu Cang who was taking a nap, hesitated for a while, put the bank card in her pocket, left the cockpit, and hurriedly chased after the others.

After Xia Shuyue left, Xu Cang slowly opened his eyes and saw through the windshield that Xia Shuyue and most of them met on the corridor bridge before closing his eyes again with confidence.

However, Xu Cang had just started to feel drowsy when he heard the sound of footsteps coming closer and closer to his side.

Xu Cang opened his eyes, turned his head, and found that it was the loader of the ground cargo, holding a list in his hand.

"Hello, here is a dangerous goods notice that needs your signature."

"Dangerous Goods Notice?" Xu Cang remembered that Spring and Summer Airlines was qualified to transport dangerous goods, so he didn't think too much about it. He signed the form and asked, "What dangerous goods?"

In fact, the captain should sign the form, but Xu Cang didn't care too much about it, so he signed it himself.

The loader immediately replied: "Toluene diisocyanate! We have checked the packaging and the seals are intact."

"Toluene diisocyanate?" Xu Cang suddenly stopped signing, and asked with a frown: "Isn't this stuff poisonous? Does it comply with the regulations on the transportation of dangerous goods?"

The loader nodded quickly: "Yes, we have confirmed the regulations."

"It complies with the regulations! That's fine." After speaking, Xu Cang returned the signed form to the loader.The loader pulled out a slip from the notice and returned the other to Xu Cang.

"Two copies!" The loader said: "The things have already been loaded, so I will go first."

Xu Cang hummed, stuffed the notice into the file bag, and went back to sleep.However, although Xu Cang seemed to be continuing to sleep, there was always a thought lingering in Xu Cang's mind.

How did he seem to have heard of toluene diisocyanate?
Richard, the chairman of the British Aviation Authority and the World Federation of Airline Pilots Association, walked slowly in the corridor. He heard that the decoding of the flight data recorder of flight 1009 by the International Civil Aviation Organization has been completed, so he came here to open his eyes , How much difference is there between the glide track calculated by Xu Cang and the actual standard track.

Moreover, in view of Xu Cang's bet with the British Aviation Authority, Richard's interest was a little higher.

However, before arriving at the office of the commissioner in charge of this matter, Richard suddenly felt a dignified atmosphere like mud when passing the rest hall. He casually turned his head to look in the direction of the hall, but saw There was a large group of people gathered in the center, most of them turned their backs to him.

These people seem to be attracted by something, and they are distributed in a fan shape, and almost everyone's attention is concentrated on the heart of the fan.

"Huh?" Richard had a thought, and couldn't help feeling a little curious, so he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​going to the office, and instead entered the lounge.

As the sound of Richard's footsteps spread into the crowd, some peripheral people turned their heads one after another. After seeing Richard, they actually separated to the two sides like waves, and finally revealed the person who carried everyone's gaze. center.

It was a very slender man in a suit, but his back was still facing Richard, but from the back, it was obvious that his body was shaking continuously.

Richard recognized the figure of this person, and it was the commissioner Rick who was in charge of the investigation of Flight 1009 and had bet with Xu Cang at the Sahidya Hotel in Jakarta.

A vague thought suddenly rose in Richard's heart, but he didn't delve into it. Instead, he took a step forward and patted Rick on the shoulder lightly: "Rick?"

After hearing Richard's voice, Rick turned around slowly, holding a stack of documents in his hand, and Richard could see dense numbers on it.

That's the decoded file of the flight data!
However, Rick, who was confident and proud in the confrontation with Xu Cang before, showed a look of incomparable fear, his eyes were bloodshot, and his lips were murmuring, as if something was stuck in his throat and blocked him from speaking. ability.

"Rick, you" Richard and Rick are good friends in life, and it is because of this relationship that Richard knows that the British Aviation Administration intends to use Xu Cang to kill CAAC's prestige.

It is true that Rick did not take any advantage in the confrontation with Xu Cang before, but after all, it was the people from CAAC who directly came forward to protect Xu Cang, so it was not a disadvantage.

However, at this moment, Rick seemed to see something that terrified him. Richard had never seen Rick have such a strong emotional reaction.

Soon, his eyes moved to the decrypted document in Rick's hand, and he turned to other CAA staff: "What kind of document is this?"

A young man next to him said, "The decoded document of the flight data of flight 1009 just faxed by the International Civil Aviation Organization."

In fact, Richard had already guessed in his heart, but when it was confirmed that it was the real thing, he was still shocked. The source of everything came from this document.

"Rick, what's wrong with this document, what did you see on it?" Richard whispered.

Amidst Richard's shouts, Rick's mood gradually stabilized, but his body was still trembling slightly.He grabbed Richard's shoulder, raised his eyes, and met Richard's puzzled eyes.

A voice like yellow sand came out of Rick's throat
Richard's pupils constricted suddenly, and Rick's trembling syllables echoed in his ears: "Richard, in that file, I saw...God!"

In Qin Xin's office in the courtyard of Erhai Chunxia Aviation Base, she is dealing with Boeing's compensation.As for the previous 1566 compensation, Boeing has already given a compensation plan. After Qin Xin completes the review and signs to approve the plan, Boeing will start the compensation.

Prior to this, the company's internal financial department had conducted a professional review of the compensation plan, and found that Boeing did not pick and choose, and the compensation plan was relatively generous.Therefore, the opinions given by the financial department are acceptable.

Although the professional opinion is so, Qin Xin still has to read it in person to make a final decision.Of course, under normal circumstances, if no major loopholes are found, Qin Xin is still inclined to accept it.

If she accepts the compensation plan, as she said when she met with Wang Xuan, she should also start negotiating with Blue Sky Airlines about the wet lease agreement.

Although Spring Airlines is small in scale, it has a lot of things to do.

However, after thinking about it, I don't know why Xu Cang's shadow suddenly appeared in Qin Xin's mind, and her right eyelid twitched unconsciously without warning.

Qin Xin's heart was in turmoil, and she ran a hundred and eight thousand miles away with her thoughts, unable to concentrate at all.

"what happened?"

Just as Qin Xin wanted to get rid of the distracting thoughts in her mind, suddenly, the door of her office was pushed open roughly, and it was her secretary who entered.

I saw the secretary's expression was extremely solemn, and even the atmosphere in the office became a little chilled.

The distracting thoughts that had just been suppressed started to stir up trouble again, and Qin Xin couldn't care about any work at the moment, as if she had a feeling, she was the first to ask the question, her tone full of tension and fear: "What's wrong?"

The secretary-general let out a breath, but there were quite a lot of ups and downs in the exhalation, showing the secretary's completely uncontrollable nervousness: "Miss, something happened to flight 9114!"

Qin Xin was taken aback, feeling pain in her heart: "9114? Isn't that Xu Cang's first flight back from Tianjin?"
