Jianchuan Airport Work Area, Feiyu Aviation Base Building.
After Xu Cang returned from Rong Mansion, he did another thing non-stop, which was to deal with matters related to Guan Shan and Guan He.
After communicating with Feiyu Airlines, Xu Cang agreed not to magnify what happened at Hanjing Airport, but the condition was that Feiyu Airlines should not impose any obstacles to Guan Shan's departure from Feiyu Airlines.As for Guan He, it was kicked away by Feather Airlines on its own initiative, and it is no longer within the scope of discussion.
In order to ensure that Xu Cang would not turn his back on what he said, Xu Cang and Feiyu Airlines needed to sign a settlement agreement in private, so that no one would have wrong thoughts afterwards.Xu Cang was quite satisfied with this. He was beaten up and got two captains at almost zero price. This deal is quite a bargain.
In the office of Li Chenxing, chief engineer of Feiyu Aviation, Xu Cang signed his name on an agreement, and Li Chenxing breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was correct: "Okay, that's it. He's resignation procedures have been completed. Now that we have signed the agreement, the past grievances are over. I will tell the flight department and the human resources department in a while, just wait a minute. Within an hour, Guan Shan's resignation procedures will also be completed. It will be processed."
Xu Cang nodded slightly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li."
"It's okay, you can take Guanshan Guanhe away today." Li Chenxing looked at the calm Xu Cang opposite, with mixed feelings in his heart.How long has it been?He still remembers the first time he met Xu Cang, Xu Cang was still a strange woman who was "famous" in the airport work area because he failed many skilled inspections, and now he has become the talker of an airline company. dazzling.
Li Chenxing thought for a while, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face: "Xu Cang, do you intend to develop Spring and Summer Airlines in Jianchuan?"
Xu Cang smiled: "Mr. Li, don't panic, I have no grudge against Feiyu Aviation, even if you want to do surgery, it won't be your turn."
"Hahaha, I'll just ask casually, just ask casually. We are all small companies, we should keep warm together, there will be no fights." Li Chenxing said this on the surface, but he was secretly relieved in his heart in one breath.
This spring and summer airline may not look like it is now living in Erhai Lake, but in fact it should not be underestimated.At this point in time, most airlines do not have enough capacity, but some time ago, the Jianchuan branch of Tiandong Airlines leased two planes to Spring Airlines, and it is rumored that the chairman of Muhua Airlines has been there several times. Erhai, even the director of the National Aviation Strategy Department seems to have a good relationship with Xu Cang.
A fledgling small company has a good relationship with the three major airlines at the same time, this is Xu Cang's confidence, and it is also the root cause of Li Chenxing's fear of Xu Cang.
The country's liberalization of civil aviation controls is actually not very friendly to small private companies in a sense.In the past, there was a lot of control. Although the three major airlines were often favored by policies, everyone defaulted to leaving some soup and water for the companies below.
Once the control is loosened, the three major airlines will be fierce tigers out of the cage. There will be no restrictions at all, only naked market competition. There will indeed be more opportunities for small companies, but the pressure to survive will also suddenly increase.
The next period of time will be an era of opportunities and risks. Li Chenxing is trembling, as if facing an abyss, as if walking on thin ice.
Xu Cang dusted off his clothes, and suddenly asked: "Mr. Li, do you still remember the gamble we first met?"
Li Chenxing, who was just a little relieved at first, was shaken suddenly, and secretly cried out, Xu Cang is going to settle the old score?He hurriedly said: "Xu Cang, at that time we were each masters, and I also had to fight for Fei Yu's interests, definitely not for you personally."
At that time, Xu Cang obviously tried his best to turn the tide and saved the plane of Feiyu Airlines.However, because Xu Cang had some strange flaws during the special situation, Li Chenxing took advantage of this and put the shit bowl on Xu Cang's head, in order to cover up the unsatisfactory performance of his own captain Guan Shan in the special situation at that time.
At that time, Lu Jinghua represented Blue Sky Airlines and Li Chenxing represented Feiyu Airlines, and a huge conflict broke out between the two in the Aviation Safety Office of the Jianchuan Supervision Bureau.During this period, the topic gradually turned to Xu Cang, and then there was a bet on whether Xu Cang could be hired as a pilot for three years, and the bet was on the Jianchuan-Yangcheng route, which was a little weak at that time.
The Jianchuan-Yangcheng route is really strange. Reasonably speaking, it should be a good route, but the benefits are mediocre, and in order to compete for the route, you have to pay a lot of operating expenses, so the two companies chose this route that made them feel uncomfortable. Gadgets become bets.
"No, I don't mean to find out who is right and who is wrong, I'm just discussing the bet. Judging from the current progress, it seems that I can't hire a pilot within three years." Xu Cang laughed.
There is no way, Xu Cang has too many accidents, if one incident happens, he has to stop for a while.To hire a pilot for three years, you must fly every year for three years. The flying method like Xu Cang can basically determine the failure of the game.
Obviously, Li Chenxing's worries had nothing to do with Xu Cang's considerations, so Li Chenxing even reacted: "So, you mean to fulfill the bet in advance? But, I remember that Lu Jinghua is already in your spring and summer Are you flying?"
Lu Jinghua, who represented Blue Sky Airlines back then, has already left, how can this bet be fulfilled?
"Let's put it this way, as for the Jianchuan-Yangcheng route, you Feiyu Airlines can't make much money, otherwise you wouldn't use it as a bet at that time. Rather than letting you operate in such a tepid way, it is better to give In our spring and summer, of course, when the route is transferred, you Feiyu Airlines will also get due compensation."
"Transfer the route?" Li Chenxing was taken aback: "You want the Jianchuan-Yangcheng route in spring and summer?"
Xu Cang hummed: "That's right. However, there is one thing that needs to be said in advance. You need to adjust the flight schedule of Jianchuan-Yangcheng. After all, this route was operated by you before. When we applied for the adjustment of flight schedule, you Fei Yu will provide some necessary help."
"Wait a minute, wait a moment!" Li Chenxing quickly sorted out what Xu Cang said: "I don't understand, this route shouldn't make much money, right? What are you going to do on purpose? You want a cheap ticket to save another save?"
Anyway, the operation of Feiyu Airlines with regular air ticket prices has proved that the Jianchuan-Yangcheng route is not very profitable, so it is actually meaningless for Xu Cang to come again.The only turning point is to implement the low-price strategy of Spring and Summer Airlines, which may turn things around.
"Uh, to tell you the truth, the Jianchuan-Yangcheng route is indeed a little bit evil. Even if it is operated at a low price, we don't have much confidence to do it well. However, I think it is still a little bit better than your current half-dead state. "
"It's a little bit better than half-dead, isn't that still half-dead?" Li Chenxing really couldn't figure it out: "However, I will pass on your opinion. The Jianchuan-Yangcheng route really doesn't make much money, and it's still delayed." We have a lot of shipping capacity, if we can transfer it, the higher-ups will probably be happy."
"That's the reason, it's a win-win for everyone! You can get an extra set-up fee and free up capacity. We don't have to apply from scratch, which saves a lot of effort and everyone is happy." Xu Cang smiled and said: "Of course, Mr. Li It is best for the teacher to convey my thoughts clearly, so as not to cause some bad reverie to the senior management of Feather Airlines."
Xu Cang's meaning is relatively simple, which is to put an end to the behavior of Feiyu Airlines' high-level executives who try to use the Jianchuan-Yangcheng route to rip themselves off.If Feather Airlines does not agree to the transfer of the route, then Xu Cang can apply for it himself. At most, it will cost more money and work harder, and this route is for the combination of the Hanjing-Yangcheng route in one year, so there is no pressure on time. It's okay to take your time.
If Feiyu Airlines wanted to blackmail Xu Cang with this route, it would be impossible.Xu Cang thought it was troublesome, so he made it clear in advance, so as to save some possible messy things later.
Li Chenxing is quite acquainted: "Understood, I know how much the Jianchuan-Yangcheng route is worth."
It's so comfortable to talk to a smart person, you don't need to speak too clearly, the other person can understand what you mean.Xu Cang clapped his hands: "It's really relaxing to chat with Master Li."
After finishing speaking, Xu Cang planned to get up and leave. Anyway, it would take a while for Guan Shan to complete the resignation procedures, so he planned to go out for a walk.
However, as soon as Xu Cang got up, Li Chenxing stopped Xu Cang: "Xu Cang, I heard that China National Airlines will give you 21 ARJ[-]s. Twenty planes, do you have a way to digest them?"
"Twenty planes is indeed a bit too much, but we are trying our best to digest them. Fortunately, the [-] planes of China National Airlines were delivered in batches, and we still have some room for deployment."
For a veteran like Li Chenxing, he knows exactly how many routes need to be matched with twenty planes, and there is no need to lie about this kind of thing.Moreover, Xu Cang believes that although it is troublesome to digest the transportation capacity of twenty aircraft, even if it costs a little waste in the early stage, it can be solved anyway.
"Twenty planes, that's enough to reach the minimum capacity of a medium-sized airline." Li Chenxing was silent for a while, and continued: "Xu Cang, I have an idea here, I wonder if you can think about it. Maybe it can help you solve the problem of excess capacity.”
Xu Cang's eyes lit up: "Oh? Is there such a good thing?"
"That's right! We, Feiyu, have a base in Qianxi, and there are also many routes in Qianzhou Province. We can hand over some of the routes in Qianzhou Province to you, and even the Qianxi base can provide overnight crews for you. It’s easy to talk about the cost of providing services.” Li Chenxing said: “Xu Cang, how do you feel? If you agree, I’ll raise it together. Your company is one of the few domestic airlines with excess capacity. The route can just help you alleviate the problem of excess capacity.”
"Intra-provincial routes in Qianzhou?" Xu Cang recalled: "Even if the intra-provincial routes in Qianzhou are not very profitable, the income is not bad, so I gave it away? Why do I feel a little strange?"
In Xu Cang's memory, the intra-provincial routes of Qianzhou are not as profitable as the intra-provincial routes of Yunshan Province, but in terms of income, they are also at the upper-middle level, definitely not at the level of tasteless.Feather Airlines is willing to send out these routes, Xu Cang naturally feels something strange.
Li Chenxing smiled bitterly and said, "It's normal for you to feel strange. We, Feiyu, use 737s to operate routes within Qianzhou Province, but we are different from you, and the capacity is not enough."
With the country's liberalization of civil aviation control, the domestic civil aviation market has shown signs of vigorous development, and even the dull decision-makers have smelled the breath of opportunity.Previously, Zhou Yanping, head of the strategy department of Tiandong Airlines, told Xu Cang directly that leasing two 737s was the limit. Feather Airlines is a small airline that attaches great importance to aircraft utilization.
Therefore, Xu Cang agreed with Li Chenxing's helplessness.
"Xu Cang, you are also an airline company now, you should know that. If the development of an airline company depends solely on operating profits, it will definitely not develop fast enough. The fastest development is... financing."
Xu Cang quite sympathized with Li Chenxing's words: "Relying solely on the profits of the airline company, the development is indeed slow."
It is precisely for this reason that Xu Cang can't wait for Spring Airlines to accumulate profits by himself, but uses his historical knowledge before his rebirth to obtain additional funds in the financial market.Otherwise, Xu Cang would point at the profits of Spring Airlines, and many things would be impossible.
However, the financing is quick and fast, but there is a relatively big problem, that is, it is easy to dilute the equity!Therefore, Xu Cang was not too happy to raise money, but used another method to make money.
However, Feather Airlines does not have a genius like Xu Cang, and it can only rely on financing to develop rapidly.
Moreover, in the past, Feiyu Aviation was able to operate steadily.But now, the domestic civil aviation market is about to develop explosively, and it is the time for staking land. If you start slowly, you will have to pay several times the price for grabbing the same site in the future.
Therefore, Feather Aviation can only seek financing in order to seize its own opportunities when the tide of the times comes.
"As you know, in terms of financing, the company's books need to be pretty. However, our company has only so much shipping capacity. If we want to have a good book, we can only concentrate more shipping capacity on routes with higher yields. Some routes can only be believed and given up, such as routes within Qianzhou province." Li Chenxing sighed: "Xu Cang, you understand what I mean."
This is of course easy to understand, but it involves a very serious problem. Xu Cang couldn't understand: "The risk assessment department of your company also agreed?"
Hearing that even Xu Cang said that, the embarrassment on Li Chenxing's face became stronger: "I agree."
"Tch." Xu Cang sneered, "It seems that your senior management has made up their minds."
This operation of Feiyu Airlines seems to be normal, but in fact there is a very big hidden danger.The so-called high-yield routes are actually cyclical, that is, they are high-yield now, but after a few years, the situation changes, and the yield may drop sharply.
Just like the intra-provincial routes in Yunshan Province, they were quite profitable in the early stage, but later Xu Cang knew that the profits of the intra-provincial routes began to decline gradually due to the impact of the high-speed rail.
Therefore, airlines need to diversify their route structure, rather than concentrating their capacity resources on so-called high-yield routes.Once this kind of behavior encounters some unexpected situations, it is easy to cause the airline to collapse across the board.
The risk assessment department of Feather Airlines must not fail to understand this truth.However, it seems that the risk assessment department has been coerced by the company's top management and dare not speak out at all.
"I'm just a middle-level person. I don't speak lightly. I thought that instead of selling Qianzhou's provincial routes to other airlines at a low price, it would be better to jointly operate with you. We provide routes and bases, and you provide aircraft and personnel. In terms of profits, we As long as [-]%."
"Thirty percent is too high! The income of the intra-provincial routes in Qianzhou is not high, and even we are just hard-earned money. Even if you don't give it to us, we can apply for it with some time. As for the use of the Qianxi base , that is even more dispensable. Qianxi’s operating costs are not high, we can build one by ourselves, and in terms of long-term cost, it’s more cost-effective for us to do it ourselves.” Xu Cang said slowly: “Twenty percent! You can only give [-]% of the profit. Of course, you can also choose to sell it to other airlines at a low price. Qianzhou’s intra-provincial routes are somewhat similar to Yunshan Province, otherwise I would not be interested in connecting.”
Qianzhou Province is also mostly mountainous, and the inland transportation in the province is inconvenient.Of course, the land transportation in Qianzhou Province is still a little bit better than that in Yunshan Province.It is precisely because of this similarity that the intra-provincial routes in Qianzhou Province are quite profitable.
If the intra-provincial routes of Qianzhou Province can be won, then the intra-provincial routes of Shangyunshan Province, plus some scattered short-distance routes, twenty ARJ21s can be digested completely, and those A digestion based on high utilization.
Li Chenxing was speechless for a moment. From a personal point of view, he could accept Xu Cang's opinion, but after all, he was not in charge of this matter, so he could only say: "I will feed back your opinion."
Xu Cang nodded: "Tell me about the specific routes within the province."
In the evening of that day, Xu Cang had a meal with brothers Guan Shan and Guan He.The two have completely left Feiyu Airlines, and according to their plan, they will go to Erhai Post after they arrange some family affairs.
Xu Cang made an appointment with the two, chatted casually, and then took the latest flight back to Erhai Lake.
Going to Feiyu Airlines this time not only settled the matter of the brothers Guan Shan and Guan He, but also had some unexpected gains.Originally, Xu Cang was only going to talk about the Jianchuan-Yangcheng route.Because in Xu Cang's plan, the three routes of Jianchuan-Hanjing, Hanjing-Yangcheng, and Yangcheng-Jianchuan will be combined and completed by two 737-900s at the same time, so as to achieve the effect of not staying overnight in Hanjing or Yangcheng .
However, in order to make a good combination, some adjustments should be made in the flight schedule.Of course, the Hanking-Yangcheng route has been handed over to Guoda Airlines, and Spring and Summer Airlines will have at least a year to slowly prepare.
From the very beginning, Xu Cang felt that the Yangcheng-Jianchuan route was useless to Feiyu Airlines. If they added some money, Feiyu Airlines would probably refuse.It's just that I didn't expect that Feather Airlines wanted to hand over the routes in Qianzhou Province in order to solve the financing problem. This is definitely a windfall, and it can solve the problem of excess capacity of Spring Airlines in one fell swoop.
Li Chenxing didn't agree right away, it was in Xu Cang's mind, he had to go back and discuss it with Lu Xiaoxiao.
Although the manager of the marketing department is Shi Lingling, Shi Lingling is not proficient in market analysis, and mainly handles some relations with the official and other airlines' senior management.The real market analysis is still to find Lu Xiaoxiao.
In addition, Xu Cang has to adjust his state a little in the past two days.Because Muhua Aviation has informed him that the Boeing 777's transoceanic flight time will be three days later.
The decision to fly the twin-engine passenger plane across the ocean is so fast, which shows that Muhua Airlines has "planned for a long time", and it was entirely delayed because of the Boeing 777 accident.Xu Cang did not participate as a flight crew, and did not need to participate in any flight training, but out of caution and courtesy, Xu Cang had to go to Muhua headquarters in Yangcheng one day in advance to communicate with the first flight crew in advance.
Just as Xu Cang was recharging his energy, in Ma Cheng's office at Muhua Aviation headquarters in Yangcheng, there was an old teacher standing opposite Ma Cheng's desk.
This old instructor is the first batch of domestic pilots of Muhua Airlines to fly international routes, and he is considered the most experienced.
"The 777 route to Los Angeles this time is our Mu Hua's trip to break the game. There must be no accidents, do you understand?" Ma Cheng said solemnly.
At Ma Cheng's level, he usually doesn't meet pilots. In his eyes, pilots are just tools. What's the point?However, the 777's trip to Los Angeles this time involved too much, and even Ma Cheng felt the pressure on his shoulders, so he couldn't help but mention a few words.
The old teacher naturally knew how much he expected: "Mr. Ma, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task satisfactorily."
"Well." Ma Cheng nodded: "Originally this time it was going to be handed over to foreign pilots, but I think such an important event should be done by our own pilots. The team members assigned to you by the company are all the best Yes, there is absolutely no problem with English, you just need to worry about the flight, and you don’t have to worry about the rest.”
The old teacher suddenly felt a sense of mission, and even straightened his back, which was slightly hunched before.
"Also." Ma Cheng rubbed his temples: "This time the company will arrange a route to monitor and follow the plane."
"Route monitoring, yes, yes." The old teacher expressed his understanding.For such a big matter, it is understandable to send another route to monitor.
Ma Cheng knew that the old teacher misunderstood what he meant: "This route inspection is different. It is not our company. Under normal circumstances, you can ignore him. If there is any problem, the opinions of the route inspection will be the final reference. .”
The old instructor was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Ma, the responsible captain has the final decision-making power during our flight. You mean, if something goes wrong, you don't listen to me, but listen to the route monitoring? Why not let me He is the responsible captain?"
"Due to some special reasons, he does not have the qualifications to operate the 777, so he can only participate as a route monitor." Ma Cheng waved his hand: "I don't care what the rules are in your flight, as long as there are special circumstances in this flight, Listen to the route monitoring. Instructor Cheng, I must have explained it very clearly, right?"
"If you don't have 777 operating qualifications, then you won't be able to fly 777. Such a person is a route supervisor, and we need to listen to him in special situations. Mr. Ma, why?"
"Why?" Ma Cheng sneered, "Just because he participated in the final flight test of the Boeing 777."
At this moment, Ma Cheng has begun to lose patience.The old instructor talked too much, what Ma Cheng wanted was a pilot who absolutely obeyed, not a guy who was questioning the leader.The old teacher's idea is different. This trip to Los Angeles must be recorded in Muhua's history, and he wants to fully include this honor on him.
Now he is not only required to hand over the final decision, but also to obey an outsider who does not even have 777 qualifications. How can he accept it?
"Mr. Ma, I have been in Muhua for almost 30 years. Why do you lie to me? How is it possible that a person without operational qualifications participated in the aircraft test flight?"
Ma Cheng stretched five fingers of his right hand and slapped it on the table: "You don't have to accept it, then change it!"
Ma Cheng has always lacked the patience to communicate with grassroots employees. Since this Cheng teacher is disobedient, it is good to replace him. He is not Xu Cang, and he is not irreplaceable.
The old teacher never expected that Ma Cheng directly proposed a substitution, and there was no room for turning around.
However, at this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Ma Cheng, are you so angry?"
I saw Liu Minxue from the recruitment office came in, patted the old teacher on the shoulder, and signaled him to go out first.
The old teacher seemed to trust Liu Minxue quite a bit, and left Ma Cheng's office without saying anything.
When the old teacher left, Liu Minxue casually pulled a chair and sat down, and said with a smile: "I will talk to Lao Cheng later, so I won't change people, and the maiden voyage is only two days away, how can I change people? "
Ma Cheng snorted, and said coldly: "Old man! How dare you have an opinion? After flying for 30 years, he is not as good as a young man who has been flying for less than three years. He still has the face to call me?"
"Then you find someone who can compare to Xu Cang." Liu Minxue said with a smile.
Ma Cheng held his forehead, did not answer this sentence, but asked back: "I heard you are leaving?"
Liu Minxue nodded: "The news spread so quickly?"
"Why did you leave? Is it because the new cadres from the flight department like to gossip? Who is it? Tell them, I'll bet them all."
Liu Minxue waved his hand: "It's not been a day or two since I was sent to the Recruitment Office by the superiors. If I still can't stand the gossip, I would have left long ago. Why would I wait until now?"
Liu Minxue used to be a relatively high-ranking leading cadre, but he had an upright temper, offended the senior leaders, and was sent directly to the Recruitment Office.It is precisely because of this that Liu Minxue is often teased at Muhua Airlines.
There is no way, in this era, being righteous has become a scarce quality, and not being able to flatter is actually a sign of not being able to behave.However, Liu Min is an open-minded student and doesn't care much about some words.
"Then why are you leaving?"
"What else can it be? It feels boring." Liu Minxue smiled and said, "I used to work in the recruiting office, and I thought I could give full play to it. Now it seems that the company doesn't pay much attention to those people I like. Maybe, The company thinks that I’m going to die in the recruiting office. Since the company doesn’t need me anymore, then I’ll leave on my own.”
"Can't you just live in the headquarters for the elderly? How old are you and still go out?"
"Personally, I have a different idea. If I'm free, there will be a problem." Liu Minxue smiled and waved his hand: "Let's not talk about that, the route monitoring you mentioned just now is definitely Xu Cang? The information I got is him. "
Ma Cheng took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed the rage in his heart: "Well, it was him, the chairman personally decided."
"I heard that Xu Cang will participate in the test of Luo Luo's new engine."
Ma Cheng raised his eyebrows: "You know that too?"
"Who else doesn't know? Luo Luo seems to be desperately trying to catch up with the progress of GP7200. The real machine test that Xu Cang is going to participate in seems extremely dangerous." Liu Minxue sighed.
Ma Cheng's eyes shone brightly: "But, if he can survive Luo Luo's actual machine test, then the dragon will come out of the abyss, and the tiger will go down the mountain. No one can restrain him anymore."
"Yes!" Liu Minxue agreed with Ma Cheng's words: "In the past, no matter how good he was, he was only a pilot who could handle special situations. But if he can survive Luo Luo's actual flight test, his test flight value will be greatly reduced." It will be enlarged without limit. In this era, a test pilot who can make new engines and new models produce leaps and bounds is of inestimable value!"
Ma Cheng snorted: "The premise is that he can survive!"
"He came a day earlier, right? Where is he placed?"
"What's wrong with the expensive hotel at the headquarters?"
Liu Minxue wrote down silently: "It's nothing. Alright, I'll go and persuade Lao Cheng, and you can calm down. Remember, I won't mention the replacement."
After speaking, Liu Minxue left Ma Cheng's office.
However, when Liu Minxue just left Ma Cheng's office, Ma Cheng finally couldn't contain his restrained anger, and slapped the table hard with his palm, making a loud noise.
Time passed by, Xu Cang came to Yangcheng one day earlier as planned, and checked into the expensive hotel next to Muhua headquarters.This noble hotel was built with a standard close to that of a five-star hotel, and its facilities are quite luxurious.
Xu Cang is a "countryman". Seeing that the luxury hotel of Muhua Airlines is so luxurious, he is really envious.
Xu Cang came here that morning, had a meal at the hotel at noon, took a small nap, then put on some clothes and went to the headquarters of Muhua Airlines to attend the pre-flight meeting.
This time the Boeing 777's Yangcheng-Los Angeles route has a lot to do with it. It can't be done with a ten-minute meeting before takeoff like an ordinary flight.It is necessary to convene the flight crew, cabin crew and security team one day in advance, and discuss with the flight department, cabin department, security department and relevant leaders at the same time.
According to Xu Cang's temperament, it is fine to wear casual clothes for this kind of meeting.However, considering that the leader of Muhua Airlines may pass, it is necessary to give them some face, so the clothes are still in a formal style, which is more or less the same when I think about it.
The pre-flight meeting is in a conference room on the fifth floor of Muhua Aviation Headquarters Building.Xu Cang has been to the headquarters building of Muhua Airlines several times in his previous life, and the basic structure has not changed. Xu Cang groped and found the meeting room very quickly.
According to the plan, the pre-flight meeting started at 03:30 in the afternoon, and it was only a quarter past three when Xu Cang arrived, 15 minutes earlier.In Xu Cang's mind, this amount in advance is not bad.As a result, as soon as he entered the meeting room, he found that it was already full of people.
There are two sets of flight crew, a total of six people, and even more crew members, plus the security team has more than 20 people.Moreover, everyone here is in uniform, led by an elderly teacher with four stripes, and the atmosphere in the field is a bit solemn.
Compared with the people who were sitting upright and wearing uniforms, even though Xu Cang could choose formal clothes, he still seemed a little casual.The moment Xu Cang came in, more than 20 people in the field looked at him in unison, especially the eyes of the two flight crews in front were obviously repulsive.
Xu Cang felt uncomfortable when he received the eyes of these people.However, his expression remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly. It was regarded as a greeting, and he found a seat at the end, intending to sit in and listen to the lecture.
Originally, he participated in this pre-flight meeting just as a formality, and he didn't think about speaking or anything. He just found a place in the corner and made soy sauce.
However, the moment he took his seat, the old teacher in charge suddenly said: "Are you the supervisor of this flight?"
Just as Xu Cang was about to answer, he raised his eyes and met the eyes of the old teacher in the first seat, and immediately felt the old teacher's serious and strong hostility.
Xu Cang's heart tightened: "Good guy, are you looking for something?"
PS——It’s the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass, the monthly pass is really too little.
(End of this chapter)
Jianchuan Airport Work Area, Feiyu Aviation Base Building.
After Xu Cang returned from Rong Mansion, he did another thing non-stop, which was to deal with matters related to Guan Shan and Guan He.
After communicating with Feiyu Airlines, Xu Cang agreed not to magnify what happened at Hanjing Airport, but the condition was that Feiyu Airlines should not impose any obstacles to Guan Shan's departure from Feiyu Airlines.As for Guan He, it was kicked away by Feather Airlines on its own initiative, and it is no longer within the scope of discussion.
In order to ensure that Xu Cang would not turn his back on what he said, Xu Cang and Feiyu Airlines needed to sign a settlement agreement in private, so that no one would have wrong thoughts afterwards.Xu Cang was quite satisfied with this. He was beaten up and got two captains at almost zero price. This deal is quite a bargain.
In the office of Li Chenxing, chief engineer of Feiyu Aviation, Xu Cang signed his name on an agreement, and Li Chenxing breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was correct: "Okay, that's it. He's resignation procedures have been completed. Now that we have signed the agreement, the past grievances are over. I will tell the flight department and the human resources department in a while, just wait a minute. Within an hour, Guan Shan's resignation procedures will also be completed. It will be processed."
Xu Cang nodded slightly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li."
"It's okay, you can take Guanshan Guanhe away today." Li Chenxing looked at the calm Xu Cang opposite, with mixed feelings in his heart.How long has it been?He still remembers the first time he met Xu Cang, Xu Cang was still a strange woman who was "famous" in the airport work area because he failed many skilled inspections, and now he has become the talker of an airline company. dazzling.
Li Chenxing thought for a while, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face: "Xu Cang, do you intend to develop Spring and Summer Airlines in Jianchuan?"
Xu Cang smiled: "Mr. Li, don't panic, I have no grudge against Feiyu Aviation, even if you want to do surgery, it won't be your turn."
"Hahaha, I'll just ask casually, just ask casually. We are all small companies, we should keep warm together, there will be no fights." Li Chenxing said this on the surface, but he was secretly relieved in his heart in one breath.
This spring and summer airline may not look like it is now living in Erhai Lake, but in fact it should not be underestimated.At this point in time, most airlines do not have enough capacity, but some time ago, the Jianchuan branch of Tiandong Airlines leased two planes to Spring Airlines, and it is rumored that the chairman of Muhua Airlines has been there several times. Erhai, even the director of the National Aviation Strategy Department seems to have a good relationship with Xu Cang.
A fledgling small company has a good relationship with the three major airlines at the same time, this is Xu Cang's confidence, and it is also the root cause of Li Chenxing's fear of Xu Cang.
The country's liberalization of civil aviation controls is actually not very friendly to small private companies in a sense.In the past, there was a lot of control. Although the three major airlines were often favored by policies, everyone defaulted to leaving some soup and water for the companies below.
Once the control is loosened, the three major airlines will be fierce tigers out of the cage. There will be no restrictions at all, only naked market competition. There will indeed be more opportunities for small companies, but the pressure to survive will also suddenly increase.
The next period of time will be an era of opportunities and risks. Li Chenxing is trembling, as if facing an abyss, as if walking on thin ice.
Xu Cang dusted off his clothes, and suddenly asked: "Mr. Li, do you still remember the gamble we first met?"
Li Chenxing, who was just a little relieved at first, was shaken suddenly, and secretly cried out, Xu Cang is going to settle the old score?He hurriedly said: "Xu Cang, at that time we were each masters, and I also had to fight for Fei Yu's interests, definitely not for you personally."
At that time, Xu Cang obviously tried his best to turn the tide and saved the plane of Feiyu Airlines.However, because Xu Cang had some strange flaws during the special situation, Li Chenxing took advantage of this and put the shit bowl on Xu Cang's head, in order to cover up the unsatisfactory performance of his own captain Guan Shan in the special situation at that time.
At that time, Lu Jinghua represented Blue Sky Airlines and Li Chenxing represented Feiyu Airlines, and a huge conflict broke out between the two in the Aviation Safety Office of the Jianchuan Supervision Bureau.During this period, the topic gradually turned to Xu Cang, and then there was a bet on whether Xu Cang could be hired as a pilot for three years, and the bet was on the Jianchuan-Yangcheng route, which was a little weak at that time.
The Jianchuan-Yangcheng route is really strange. Reasonably speaking, it should be a good route, but the benefits are mediocre, and in order to compete for the route, you have to pay a lot of operating expenses, so the two companies chose this route that made them feel uncomfortable. Gadgets become bets.
"No, I don't mean to find out who is right and who is wrong, I'm just discussing the bet. Judging from the current progress, it seems that I can't hire a pilot within three years." Xu Cang laughed.
There is no way, Xu Cang has too many accidents, if one incident happens, he has to stop for a while.To hire a pilot for three years, you must fly every year for three years. The flying method like Xu Cang can basically determine the failure of the game.
Obviously, Li Chenxing's worries had nothing to do with Xu Cang's considerations, so Li Chenxing even reacted: "So, you mean to fulfill the bet in advance? But, I remember that Lu Jinghua is already in your spring and summer Are you flying?"
Lu Jinghua, who represented Blue Sky Airlines back then, has already left, how can this bet be fulfilled?
"Let's put it this way, as for the Jianchuan-Yangcheng route, you Feiyu Airlines can't make much money, otherwise you wouldn't use it as a bet at that time. Rather than letting you operate in such a tepid way, it is better to give In our spring and summer, of course, when the route is transferred, you Feiyu Airlines will also get due compensation."
"Transfer the route?" Li Chenxing was taken aback: "You want the Jianchuan-Yangcheng route in spring and summer?"
Xu Cang hummed: "That's right. However, there is one thing that needs to be said in advance. You need to adjust the flight schedule of Jianchuan-Yangcheng. After all, this route was operated by you before. When we applied for the adjustment of flight schedule, you Fei Yu will provide some necessary help."
"Wait a minute, wait a moment!" Li Chenxing quickly sorted out what Xu Cang said: "I don't understand, this route shouldn't make much money, right? What are you going to do on purpose? You want a cheap ticket to save another save?"
Anyway, the operation of Feiyu Airlines with regular air ticket prices has proved that the Jianchuan-Yangcheng route is not very profitable, so it is actually meaningless for Xu Cang to come again.The only turning point is to implement the low-price strategy of Spring and Summer Airlines, which may turn things around.
"Uh, to tell you the truth, the Jianchuan-Yangcheng route is indeed a little bit evil. Even if it is operated at a low price, we don't have much confidence to do it well. However, I think it is still a little bit better than your current half-dead state. "
"It's a little bit better than half-dead, isn't that still half-dead?" Li Chenxing really couldn't figure it out: "However, I will pass on your opinion. The Jianchuan-Yangcheng route really doesn't make much money, and it's still delayed." We have a lot of shipping capacity, if we can transfer it, the higher-ups will probably be happy."
"That's the reason, it's a win-win for everyone! You can get an extra set-up fee and free up capacity. We don't have to apply from scratch, which saves a lot of effort and everyone is happy." Xu Cang smiled and said: "Of course, Mr. Li It is best for the teacher to convey my thoughts clearly, so as not to cause some bad reverie to the senior management of Feather Airlines."
Xu Cang's meaning is relatively simple, which is to put an end to the behavior of Feiyu Airlines' high-level executives who try to use the Jianchuan-Yangcheng route to rip themselves off.If Feather Airlines does not agree to the transfer of the route, then Xu Cang can apply for it himself. At most, it will cost more money and work harder, and this route is for the combination of the Hanjing-Yangcheng route in one year, so there is no pressure on time. It's okay to take your time.
If Feiyu Airlines wanted to blackmail Xu Cang with this route, it would be impossible.Xu Cang thought it was troublesome, so he made it clear in advance, so as to save some possible messy things later.
Li Chenxing is quite acquainted: "Understood, I know how much the Jianchuan-Yangcheng route is worth."
It's so comfortable to talk to a smart person, you don't need to speak too clearly, the other person can understand what you mean.Xu Cang clapped his hands: "It's really relaxing to chat with Master Li."
After finishing speaking, Xu Cang planned to get up and leave. Anyway, it would take a while for Guan Shan to complete the resignation procedures, so he planned to go out for a walk.
However, as soon as Xu Cang got up, Li Chenxing stopped Xu Cang: "Xu Cang, I heard that China National Airlines will give you 21 ARJ[-]s. Twenty planes, do you have a way to digest them?"
"Twenty planes is indeed a bit too much, but we are trying our best to digest them. Fortunately, the [-] planes of China National Airlines were delivered in batches, and we still have some room for deployment."
For a veteran like Li Chenxing, he knows exactly how many routes need to be matched with twenty planes, and there is no need to lie about this kind of thing.Moreover, Xu Cang believes that although it is troublesome to digest the transportation capacity of twenty aircraft, even if it costs a little waste in the early stage, it can be solved anyway.
"Twenty planes, that's enough to reach the minimum capacity of a medium-sized airline." Li Chenxing was silent for a while, and continued: "Xu Cang, I have an idea here, I wonder if you can think about it. Maybe it can help you solve the problem of excess capacity.”
Xu Cang's eyes lit up: "Oh? Is there such a good thing?"
"That's right! We, Feiyu, have a base in Qianxi, and there are also many routes in Qianzhou Province. We can hand over some of the routes in Qianzhou Province to you, and even the Qianxi base can provide overnight crews for you. It’s easy to talk about the cost of providing services.” Li Chenxing said: “Xu Cang, how do you feel? If you agree, I’ll raise it together. Your company is one of the few domestic airlines with excess capacity. The route can just help you alleviate the problem of excess capacity.”
"Intra-provincial routes in Qianzhou?" Xu Cang recalled: "Even if the intra-provincial routes in Qianzhou are not very profitable, the income is not bad, so I gave it away? Why do I feel a little strange?"
In Xu Cang's memory, the intra-provincial routes of Qianzhou are not as profitable as the intra-provincial routes of Yunshan Province, but in terms of income, they are also at the upper-middle level, definitely not at the level of tasteless.Feather Airlines is willing to send out these routes, Xu Cang naturally feels something strange.
Li Chenxing smiled bitterly and said, "It's normal for you to feel strange. We, Feiyu, use 737s to operate routes within Qianzhou Province, but we are different from you, and the capacity is not enough."
With the country's liberalization of civil aviation control, the domestic civil aviation market has shown signs of vigorous development, and even the dull decision-makers have smelled the breath of opportunity.Previously, Zhou Yanping, head of the strategy department of Tiandong Airlines, told Xu Cang directly that leasing two 737s was the limit. Feather Airlines is a small airline that attaches great importance to aircraft utilization.
Therefore, Xu Cang agreed with Li Chenxing's helplessness.
"Xu Cang, you are also an airline company now, you should know that. If the development of an airline company depends solely on operating profits, it will definitely not develop fast enough. The fastest development is... financing."
Xu Cang quite sympathized with Li Chenxing's words: "Relying solely on the profits of the airline company, the development is indeed slow."
It is precisely for this reason that Xu Cang can't wait for Spring Airlines to accumulate profits by himself, but uses his historical knowledge before his rebirth to obtain additional funds in the financial market.Otherwise, Xu Cang would point at the profits of Spring Airlines, and many things would be impossible.
However, the financing is quick and fast, but there is a relatively big problem, that is, it is easy to dilute the equity!Therefore, Xu Cang was not too happy to raise money, but used another method to make money.
However, Feather Airlines does not have a genius like Xu Cang, and it can only rely on financing to develop rapidly.
Moreover, in the past, Feiyu Aviation was able to operate steadily.But now, the domestic civil aviation market is about to develop explosively, and it is the time for staking land. If you start slowly, you will have to pay several times the price for grabbing the same site in the future.
Therefore, Feather Aviation can only seek financing in order to seize its own opportunities when the tide of the times comes.
"As you know, in terms of financing, the company's books need to be pretty. However, our company has only so much shipping capacity. If we want to have a good book, we can only concentrate more shipping capacity on routes with higher yields. Some routes can only be believed and given up, such as routes within Qianzhou province." Li Chenxing sighed: "Xu Cang, you understand what I mean."
This is of course easy to understand, but it involves a very serious problem. Xu Cang couldn't understand: "The risk assessment department of your company also agreed?"
Hearing that even Xu Cang said that, the embarrassment on Li Chenxing's face became stronger: "I agree."
"Tch." Xu Cang sneered, "It seems that your senior management has made up their minds."
This operation of Feiyu Airlines seems to be normal, but in fact there is a very big hidden danger.The so-called high-yield routes are actually cyclical, that is, they are high-yield now, but after a few years, the situation changes, and the yield may drop sharply.
Just like the intra-provincial routes in Yunshan Province, they were quite profitable in the early stage, but later Xu Cang knew that the profits of the intra-provincial routes began to decline gradually due to the impact of the high-speed rail.
Therefore, airlines need to diversify their route structure, rather than concentrating their capacity resources on so-called high-yield routes.Once this kind of behavior encounters some unexpected situations, it is easy to cause the airline to collapse across the board.
The risk assessment department of Feather Airlines must not fail to understand this truth.However, it seems that the risk assessment department has been coerced by the company's top management and dare not speak out at all.
"I'm just a middle-level person. I don't speak lightly. I thought that instead of selling Qianzhou's provincial routes to other airlines at a low price, it would be better to jointly operate with you. We provide routes and bases, and you provide aircraft and personnel. In terms of profits, we As long as [-]%."
"Thirty percent is too high! The income of the intra-provincial routes in Qianzhou is not high, and even we are just hard-earned money. Even if you don't give it to us, we can apply for it with some time. As for the use of the Qianxi base , that is even more dispensable. Qianxi’s operating costs are not high, we can build one by ourselves, and in terms of long-term cost, it’s more cost-effective for us to do it ourselves.” Xu Cang said slowly: “Twenty percent! You can only give [-]% of the profit. Of course, you can also choose to sell it to other airlines at a low price. Qianzhou’s intra-provincial routes are somewhat similar to Yunshan Province, otherwise I would not be interested in connecting.”
Qianzhou Province is also mostly mountainous, and the inland transportation in the province is inconvenient.Of course, the land transportation in Qianzhou Province is still a little bit better than that in Yunshan Province.It is precisely because of this similarity that the intra-provincial routes in Qianzhou Province are quite profitable.
If the intra-provincial routes of Qianzhou Province can be won, then the intra-provincial routes of Shangyunshan Province, plus some scattered short-distance routes, twenty ARJ21s can be digested completely, and those A digestion based on high utilization.
Li Chenxing was speechless for a moment. From a personal point of view, he could accept Xu Cang's opinion, but after all, he was not in charge of this matter, so he could only say: "I will feed back your opinion."
Xu Cang nodded: "Tell me about the specific routes within the province."
In the evening of that day, Xu Cang had a meal with brothers Guan Shan and Guan He.The two have completely left Feiyu Airlines, and according to their plan, they will go to Erhai Post after they arrange some family affairs.
Xu Cang made an appointment with the two, chatted casually, and then took the latest flight back to Erhai Lake.
Going to Feiyu Airlines this time not only settled the matter of the brothers Guan Shan and Guan He, but also had some unexpected gains.Originally, Xu Cang was only going to talk about the Jianchuan-Yangcheng route.Because in Xu Cang's plan, the three routes of Jianchuan-Hanjing, Hanjing-Yangcheng, and Yangcheng-Jianchuan will be combined and completed by two 737-900s at the same time, so as to achieve the effect of not staying overnight in Hanjing or Yangcheng .
However, in order to make a good combination, some adjustments should be made in the flight schedule.Of course, the Hanking-Yangcheng route has been handed over to Guoda Airlines, and Spring and Summer Airlines will have at least a year to slowly prepare.
From the very beginning, Xu Cang felt that the Yangcheng-Jianchuan route was useless to Feiyu Airlines. If they added some money, Feiyu Airlines would probably refuse.It's just that I didn't expect that Feather Airlines wanted to hand over the routes in Qianzhou Province in order to solve the financing problem. This is definitely a windfall, and it can solve the problem of excess capacity of Spring Airlines in one fell swoop.
Li Chenxing didn't agree right away, it was in Xu Cang's mind, he had to go back and discuss it with Lu Xiaoxiao.
Although the manager of the marketing department is Shi Lingling, Shi Lingling is not proficient in market analysis, and mainly handles some relations with the official and other airlines' senior management.The real market analysis is still to find Lu Xiaoxiao.
In addition, Xu Cang has to adjust his state a little in the past two days.Because Muhua Aviation has informed him that the Boeing 777's transoceanic flight time will be three days later.
The decision to fly the twin-engine passenger plane across the ocean is so fast, which shows that Muhua Airlines has "planned for a long time", and it was entirely delayed because of the Boeing 777 accident.Xu Cang did not participate as a flight crew, and did not need to participate in any flight training, but out of caution and courtesy, Xu Cang had to go to Muhua headquarters in Yangcheng one day in advance to communicate with the first flight crew in advance.
Just as Xu Cang was recharging his energy, in Ma Cheng's office at Muhua Aviation headquarters in Yangcheng, there was an old teacher standing opposite Ma Cheng's desk.
This old instructor is the first batch of domestic pilots of Muhua Airlines to fly international routes, and he is considered the most experienced.
"The 777 route to Los Angeles this time is our Mu Hua's trip to break the game. There must be no accidents, do you understand?" Ma Cheng said solemnly.
At Ma Cheng's level, he usually doesn't meet pilots. In his eyes, pilots are just tools. What's the point?However, the 777's trip to Los Angeles this time involved too much, and even Ma Cheng felt the pressure on his shoulders, so he couldn't help but mention a few words.
The old teacher naturally knew how much he expected: "Mr. Ma, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task satisfactorily."
"Well." Ma Cheng nodded: "Originally this time it was going to be handed over to foreign pilots, but I think such an important event should be done by our own pilots. The team members assigned to you by the company are all the best Yes, there is absolutely no problem with English, you just need to worry about the flight, and you don’t have to worry about the rest.”
The old teacher suddenly felt a sense of mission, and even straightened his back, which was slightly hunched before.
"Also." Ma Cheng rubbed his temples: "This time the company will arrange a route to monitor and follow the plane."
"Route monitoring, yes, yes." The old teacher expressed his understanding.For such a big matter, it is understandable to send another route to monitor.
Ma Cheng knew that the old teacher misunderstood what he meant: "This route inspection is different. It is not our company. Under normal circumstances, you can ignore him. If there is any problem, the opinions of the route inspection will be the final reference. .”
The old instructor was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Ma, the responsible captain has the final decision-making power during our flight. You mean, if something goes wrong, you don't listen to me, but listen to the route monitoring? Why not let me He is the responsible captain?"
"Due to some special reasons, he does not have the qualifications to operate the 777, so he can only participate as a route monitor." Ma Cheng waved his hand: "I don't care what the rules are in your flight, as long as there are special circumstances in this flight, Listen to the route monitoring. Instructor Cheng, I must have explained it very clearly, right?"
"If you don't have 777 operating qualifications, then you won't be able to fly 777. Such a person is a route supervisor, and we need to listen to him in special situations. Mr. Ma, why?"
"Why?" Ma Cheng sneered, "Just because he participated in the final flight test of the Boeing 777."
At this moment, Ma Cheng has begun to lose patience.The old instructor talked too much, what Ma Cheng wanted was a pilot who absolutely obeyed, not a guy who was questioning the leader.The old teacher's idea is different. This trip to Los Angeles must be recorded in Muhua's history, and he wants to fully include this honor on him.
Now he is not only required to hand over the final decision, but also to obey an outsider who does not even have 777 qualifications. How can he accept it?
"Mr. Ma, I have been in Muhua for almost 30 years. Why do you lie to me? How is it possible that a person without operational qualifications participated in the aircraft test flight?"
Ma Cheng stretched five fingers of his right hand and slapped it on the table: "You don't have to accept it, then change it!"
Ma Cheng has always lacked the patience to communicate with grassroots employees. Since this Cheng teacher is disobedient, it is good to replace him. He is not Xu Cang, and he is not irreplaceable.
The old teacher never expected that Ma Cheng directly proposed a substitution, and there was no room for turning around.
However, at this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Ma Cheng, are you so angry?"
I saw Liu Minxue from the recruitment office came in, patted the old teacher on the shoulder, and signaled him to go out first.
The old teacher seemed to trust Liu Minxue quite a bit, and left Ma Cheng's office without saying anything.
When the old teacher left, Liu Minxue casually pulled a chair and sat down, and said with a smile: "I will talk to Lao Cheng later, so I won't change people, and the maiden voyage is only two days away, how can I change people? "
Ma Cheng snorted, and said coldly: "Old man! How dare you have an opinion? After flying for 30 years, he is not as good as a young man who has been flying for less than three years. He still has the face to call me?"
"Then you find someone who can compare to Xu Cang." Liu Minxue said with a smile.
Ma Cheng held his forehead, did not answer this sentence, but asked back: "I heard you are leaving?"
Liu Minxue nodded: "The news spread so quickly?"
"Why did you leave? Is it because the new cadres from the flight department like to gossip? Who is it? Tell them, I'll bet them all."
Liu Minxue waved his hand: "It's not been a day or two since I was sent to the Recruitment Office by the superiors. If I still can't stand the gossip, I would have left long ago. Why would I wait until now?"
Liu Minxue used to be a relatively high-ranking leading cadre, but he had an upright temper, offended the senior leaders, and was sent directly to the Recruitment Office.It is precisely because of this that Liu Minxue is often teased at Muhua Airlines.
There is no way, in this era, being righteous has become a scarce quality, and not being able to flatter is actually a sign of not being able to behave.However, Liu Min is an open-minded student and doesn't care much about some words.
"Then why are you leaving?"
"What else can it be? It feels boring." Liu Minxue smiled and said, "I used to work in the recruiting office, and I thought I could give full play to it. Now it seems that the company doesn't pay much attention to those people I like. Maybe, The company thinks that I’m going to die in the recruiting office. Since the company doesn’t need me anymore, then I’ll leave on my own.”
"Can't you just live in the headquarters for the elderly? How old are you and still go out?"
"Personally, I have a different idea. If I'm free, there will be a problem." Liu Minxue smiled and waved his hand: "Let's not talk about that, the route monitoring you mentioned just now is definitely Xu Cang? The information I got is him. "
Ma Cheng took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed the rage in his heart: "Well, it was him, the chairman personally decided."
"I heard that Xu Cang will participate in the test of Luo Luo's new engine."
Ma Cheng raised his eyebrows: "You know that too?"
"Who else doesn't know? Luo Luo seems to be desperately trying to catch up with the progress of GP7200. The real machine test that Xu Cang is going to participate in seems extremely dangerous." Liu Minxue sighed.
Ma Cheng's eyes shone brightly: "But, if he can survive Luo Luo's actual machine test, then the dragon will come out of the abyss, and the tiger will go down the mountain. No one can restrain him anymore."
"Yes!" Liu Minxue agreed with Ma Cheng's words: "In the past, no matter how good he was, he was only a pilot who could handle special situations. But if he can survive Luo Luo's actual flight test, his test flight value will be greatly reduced." It will be enlarged without limit. In this era, a test pilot who can make new engines and new models produce leaps and bounds is of inestimable value!"
Ma Cheng snorted: "The premise is that he can survive!"
"He came a day earlier, right? Where is he placed?"
"What's wrong with the expensive hotel at the headquarters?"
Liu Minxue wrote down silently: "It's nothing. Alright, I'll go and persuade Lao Cheng, and you can calm down. Remember, I won't mention the replacement."
After speaking, Liu Minxue left Ma Cheng's office.
However, when Liu Minxue just left Ma Cheng's office, Ma Cheng finally couldn't contain his restrained anger, and slapped the table hard with his palm, making a loud noise.
Time passed by, Xu Cang came to Yangcheng one day earlier as planned, and checked into the expensive hotel next to Muhua headquarters.This noble hotel was built with a standard close to that of a five-star hotel, and its facilities are quite luxurious.
Xu Cang is a "countryman". Seeing that the luxury hotel of Muhua Airlines is so luxurious, he is really envious.
Xu Cang came here that morning, had a meal at the hotel at noon, took a small nap, then put on some clothes and went to the headquarters of Muhua Airlines to attend the pre-flight meeting.
This time the Boeing 777's Yangcheng-Los Angeles route has a lot to do with it. It can't be done with a ten-minute meeting before takeoff like an ordinary flight.It is necessary to convene the flight crew, cabin crew and security team one day in advance, and discuss with the flight department, cabin department, security department and relevant leaders at the same time.
According to Xu Cang's temperament, it is fine to wear casual clothes for this kind of meeting.However, considering that the leader of Muhua Airlines may pass, it is necessary to give them some face, so the clothes are still in a formal style, which is more or less the same when I think about it.
The pre-flight meeting is in a conference room on the fifth floor of Muhua Aviation Headquarters Building.Xu Cang has been to the headquarters building of Muhua Airlines several times in his previous life, and the basic structure has not changed. Xu Cang groped and found the meeting room very quickly.
According to the plan, the pre-flight meeting started at 03:30 in the afternoon, and it was only a quarter past three when Xu Cang arrived, 15 minutes earlier.In Xu Cang's mind, this amount in advance is not bad.As a result, as soon as he entered the meeting room, he found that it was already full of people.
There are two sets of flight crew, a total of six people, and even more crew members, plus the security team has more than 20 people.Moreover, everyone here is in uniform, led by an elderly teacher with four stripes, and the atmosphere in the field is a bit solemn.
Compared with the people who were sitting upright and wearing uniforms, even though Xu Cang could choose formal clothes, he still seemed a little casual.The moment Xu Cang came in, more than 20 people in the field looked at him in unison, especially the eyes of the two flight crews in front were obviously repulsive.
Xu Cang felt uncomfortable when he received the eyes of these people.However, his expression remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly. It was regarded as a greeting, and he found a seat at the end, intending to sit in and listen to the lecture.
Originally, he participated in this pre-flight meeting just as a formality, and he didn't think about speaking or anything. He just found a place in the corner and made soy sauce.
However, the moment he took his seat, the old teacher in charge suddenly said: "Are you the supervisor of this flight?"
Just as Xu Cang was about to answer, he raised his eyes and met the eyes of the old teacher in the first seat, and immediately felt the old teacher's serious and strong hostility.
Xu Cang's heart tightened: "Good guy, are you looking for something?"
PS——It’s the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass, the monthly pass is really too little.
