"Is it really so funny?" In the cockpit, Xu Cang uttered this soul torture: "Isn't it okay for the pilot to bring a quilt on the plane? Which regulation prohibits it? As for such a big reaction?"
Xu Cang glanced at Mo Shangyun who was deep in thought on the left, and suddenly felt a little strange: "Teacher, what are you thinking about?"
"I mean, do we have to optimize the folding standard of the quilt next time? You see, this time it is because the folding is not good enough to pass the X-ray machine. If it is based on the standard I used to be in the army, the quilt will definitely have to be folded again." If it is smaller, it might be able to pass through the X-ray machine directly." Mo Shangyun thought seriously: "This time I was too careless and wasted time."
Just at the security checkpoint, because the quilt could not pass through the X-ray machine, the security inspector had to check it manually.First, the folded bedding had to be unpacked, and then packed again after manual inspection, which was time-consuming and laborious, slowing down the efficiency of the entire crew's security check, so that the final flight was delayed by 10 minutes.
Of course, a 10-minute delay is not a big deal, but Mo Shangyun took this as an opportunity to sink into deep thinking and gave Xu Cang a huge shock.
"Forget it, you are more outrageous than me."
Facing Mo Shangyun's bewildered thinking, Xu Cang directly gave up the idea of getting a reasonable answer from Mo Shangyun, nestled in the seat, thinking about which movie to watch first after landing in Shanghai?
They landed at the Shanghai Airport almost in the afternoon, and they had to spend half the day on the plane before staying overnight.In fact, if the regulations are strictly followed, Xu Cang's behavior is actually not in compliance with the regulations.Because there is no suitable and standard rest area on the 737, at least the regulations do not allow the computer group to rest while sleeping on the seat.
Therefore, after landing in Shanghai, the entire crew on the plane is not really rested, that is, the duty period has not ended.Then, calculated in this way, the duty period must be exceeded.
However, even under the strict enforcement of various regulations in later generations, unless one is extremely unlucky and happens to be caught by the bureau, there will generally be no problems, let alone in this era of barbaric growth.
Since he has to stay on the plane for more than sixteen hours, Xu Cang can't count the planes at the airport if he has no way to pass the time, can he?Therefore, he borrowed a laptop from Qin Xin, downloaded some movies, and used it as a means of entertainment when he landed.
Although the millennium has just passed, the visual effects are naturally not comparable to the movies of later generations, but there are still many good movies in this era, which are enough for Xu Cang to kill time.
"Why is it outrageous? This is called finding a problem and then solving it." Mo Shangyun turned to the back and pouted: "However, those girls in the back seem to be quite ashamed of our behavior, and the security inspectors are also doing manual inspections. I was holding back my laughter all the time."
Mentioning this, Xu Cang became angry: "I don't understand, what's wrong with wearing a quilt, it's not a bomb!"
"You can't say that, after all, there are people with 'existing convictions'." Mo Shangyun rolled his eyes: "I didn't bring the bomb, but I did bring a knife on the plane."
Mo Shangyun directly mentioned Xu Cang's black history, Xu Cang's face froze, he couldn't say a word for a long time, and finally he could only wave his hands: "Forget it, laugh, laugh, let them do it, and do it in the future. It can save the hotel money, wait until the company signs a contract with the hotel.”
When it comes to saving money, Xu Cang has always shown a strong tendency to be spontaneous.
"After the flight starts, discuss with Shanghai Airport to keep the minimum flight frequency. After signing the contract with the hotel and the airport, we can increase the number of flights according to the situation." Xu Cang said: "Before this, this flight is only for us. The two of you should be responsible, it is estimated that others will not be able to hold back this face."
Xu Cang is a bit nice, he doesn't force others, at least he asked around, no pilot in the fleet can accept the shameful thing of carrying a quilt on the plane.However, in the cold winter, and the APU cannot be operated overnight on the plane, it cannot be carried dry, so you can only bring something to keep out the cold, and the quilt is naturally the best.
Xu Cang won't force others if they can't hold back their face. Only Mo Shangyun doesn't care, so this flight can only be given to them.
"I don't care. It's not like I'm doing something outrageous. There's nothing to be ashamed of. However, the flight time is quite long. If you are short of time, I will save it for you." Mo Shangyun thought for a while: "You can fly for a while. Time, let's get the experience time and landing up, and then quickly upgrade to the fourth level."
Xu Cang didn't really care. He used to have a three-year task to hire a pilot, but now he couldn't catch up anyway, so there was no need to be too demanding, so he didn't take it too seriously.However, just because Xu Cang showed off doesn't mean that Mo Shangyun agreed with Xu Cang's show. At least in Mo Shangyun's view, the four bars are still in line with Xu Cang's identity. There is always a sense of separation when doing some "shocking" special treatment.
Although in his heart he has no need for technical advancement, at least Xu Cang can't be too obvious on the outside, otherwise he will be scolded by Mo Shangyun.
"Well, it doesn't take much time to transfer to the fourth level. I'll make up for it later."
There are still beautiful things to say.
It will be faster for the co-pilot to go all the way to level [-]. It is more troublesome to transfer from level [-] to level [-], from level [-] to level [-], and from level [-] to captain.However, for Xu Cang, accumulating time and landing are the most troublesome things. After all, accidents happen all the time, and the flight will be grounded at every turn. Time and landing can't be improved at all. Technically, there is nothing to worry about.
"By the way, I heard that the bureau's audit center is checking our accounts, is there anything wrong?" Mo Shangyun worried.
Prior to this, many airlines complained to the Bureau that Spring and Summer Airlines disrupted the market with low-priced sales.However, these airlines still kept the bottom line and just reported it to the Civil Aviation Administration, so it was just an internal matter.
After receiving the complaint, people from the audit center of the Civil Aviation Administration entered Spring Airlines and asked Spring Airlines to explain whether the sale at a lower price violated the regulations. If the people from the Civil Aviation Administration cannot be convinced, then this matter is not the internal affairs of the Civil Aviation Administration of China. , the Bureau of Industry and Commerce may be involved, so the incident will be enlarged.
However, Xu Cang obviously didn't care much, because they didn't conduct malicious low-price sales below the cost price.Moreover, Lu Xiaoxiao will be in charge of this matter, and she must be able to handle it seamlessly.
"It's okay, it's a bit uncomfortable during this period, and it will be fine soon."
After all, it is under investigation by the bureau. During the investigation, the application for routes and other aspects will definitely be affected.Spring Airlines is now in a period of rapid development, and it is quite uncomfortable to be unable to develop due to the bureau's investigation.
However, this is also impossible.
Mo Shangyun became puzzled: "I really don't understand, what is going on in the minds of these airlines? What kind of habit is snitching?"
"Our appearance will bring some uncertain changes to the entire civil aviation market, and it is reasonable for them to want to eliminate variables. However, this time they are so united, I am afraid that someone is not planning it." Speaking of this, the first thing in Xu Cang's mind Suddenly, Yu Chen's appearance appeared.
"Someone is causing trouble?" Mo Shangyun asked eagerly, "Who is it?"
"I just guessed randomly." Naturally, it was impossible for Xu Cang to explain it to Mo Shangyun in detail, so he just passed it off.
However, in Xu Cang's heart, he is the one who will take revenge.It could be seen that Yu Chen didn't want to make things too ugly, otherwise those airlines would not be looking for the Civil Aviation Bureau, but the Industry and Commerce Bureau.
However, doubling the return has always been the principle Xu Cang pursues.Don't look at GM's hands and eyes now, and soon, they will encounter Waterloo.
After the plane landed in Shanghai, according to the plan, the crew was picked up by the crew of Tiandong Airlines, leaving only Xu Cang, Mo Shangyun and the security officer.The security officer didn't bring a quilt, but he stuffed a thick down jacket in the box, which seemed to be somewhat prepared, but he didn't know if a down jacket was enough to keep out the cold.
After everyone left, Xu Cang turned off the APU.Naturally, there is an air-conditioning system on the plane, but the air-conditioning needs an air source, and there are two ways to provide the air source, one is the engine bleed air, and the other is the APU bleed air.
With the engines off, there must be no engine bleed air.Compared with the running of the engine, the APU naturally consumes much less fuel, but it is still a small engine after all, and the money spent on running it all the time is unacceptable to Xu Cang.
Moreover, the APU itself is relatively delicate, and it is originally used as a supplement for engine power and air source.Even if you don't care about fuel consumption, driving the APU for more than ten hours is a huge burden on the APU.
Engines have maintenance cycles, so APUs naturally exist, and the maintenance cost of APUs is not small.It is too extravagant to consume the maintenance life of the APU just to be used as an air conditioner, and no airline is willing to do this.
After the maintenance came to disembark, the passenger elevator car was supposed to leave, but after Xu Cang discussed with the driver, the passenger elevator car stayed.
With the APU turned off, not only is the plane out of gas, but also the electricity, and the oven on the plane is out of use.However, the three of them didn't intend to use the oven to heat the meal, so they just ate a piece of bread and made up for it.
Fortunately, the temperature is not so low during the day, and it doesn't matter if there is no air conditioner.Xu Cangwo watched the movie all afternoon in the cabin, and finally his eyes were blurred. He really couldn't take it anymore, and finally stood on the passenger elevator car counting the plane in the evening.It's just that because of looking at the computer for too long, Xu Cang saw double images of the plane, and couldn't stand the cold wind outside, so Xu Cang retreated into the cabin soon.
Compared to Xu Cang's state of jumping up and down, Mo Shangyun is much quieter. He has been reading this book for a whole day, except for going to the bathroom, he doesn't move around.As for the safety officer, he even brought a small fitness equipment to exercise, or he wore a reflective vest and went down to the apron to run around the plane.
Xu Cang was not the kind of person who could calm down, but in the end he couldn't bear it anymore, so he took out his reflective vest and went down to run around the plane with the security guards.However, this behavior is really strange.Xu Cang saw it more than once. The pilot who got off to refuel at the next seat saw Xu Cang and the security officer, and his eyes were like looking at idiots.
The security officer may be a serious fitness enthusiast, and he doesn't care about other people's strange eyes, but Xu Cang can't stand it.Of course, the biggest reason for Xu Cang to give up was that he couldn't run anymore. After five laps, Xu Cang began to pant heavily, and his physique was really outrageous.
However, for Xu Cang, who is in the late stage of lazy cancer, it is impossible to exercise, so he immediately lay down on the plane.
In addition to warming up the body, running has another advantage, that is, it consumes energy.After going back and watching the movie for a while, I started to feel sleepy.And, as the sun went down, the cabin grew darker.
Mo Shangyun probably wasn't sleepy, so he took out the flashlight used by pilots to check around the plane to provide a light source, and continued to read.The security guard wrapped himself in a down jacket at around eight o'clock and went to sleep in the last row.
It's okay when the sun is shining during the day, I don't feel anything, but at night, the wind blows in from the cabin door.Xu Cang watched the movie in the second row at first, but finally couldn't take it anymore, and retreated all the way to the third row from the bottom.
Moreover, since the plane has no power supply, and the sockets on it are also powerless, the notebook can only use its own power supply, and eventually the power supply runs out and shuts down.Under the boredom, Xu Cang also felt a little tired, so he planned to go to bed.
During the daytime, Xu Cang asked the airport to fill up the plane with fresh water, which was enough for three people. The biggest problem was the cold. With such a big opening in the front cabin, who could bear it?
Seeing Mo Shangyun reading in the front row as if nothing had happened, Xu Cang leaned over and said, "Teacher, are you still asleep?"
"I'm old, I don't sleep much, just sleep when you're sleepy, don't worry about me." Mo Shangyun didn't even lift his head, probably because he was absorbed in reading and couldn't bear to stop.
Xu Cang looked at the front cabin, and he could even hear the whistling wind in his ears.In Mo Shangyun's position, there was a gust of cold wind, which Xu Cang felt unbearable at his age. It can be seen that Mo Shangyun's physique is really good.
Not knowing if he understood what Xu Cang was thinking, Mo Shangyun said, "Cold?"
"Teacher, you are not cold." Xu Cang asked back.
"I'm fine. If you feel cold, close the hatch. Will you close the hatch?"
"Yes, yes." In the practical training of emergency training, Xu Cang has learned to open and close the hatch, but there is a problem: "If the front cabin is also closed, the plane will not be able to breathe, and we will be suffocated." what to do?"
This time, Mo Shangyun was directly questioned, there was no bleed air, and once the hatch was closed, the inside was almost airtight, which was really risky.
Mo Shangyun stopped reading, turned to look at Xu Cang: "Then open the side window of the cockpit, just leave a vent."
"But the forecast says it will rain tonight."
"Is it raining?" Mo Shangyun smiled: "Then it's better to open the front cabin door."
It's okay to have a little rainwater in the front cabin workshop, but if the rainwater enters the cockpit and wets the electronic equipment, the loss will be great, and no one dares to take this risk.
Xu Cang was speechless for a moment, held back for a long time and hummed, with a bitter face: "I knew I should have brought two quilts. No, it should be arranged for a covered bridge."
There are covered bridges connected to it, which can block most of the wind and prevent rainwater from entering.However, this method is not necessarily easy to use.Generally speaking, after the flight, the corridor bridge will be withdrawn and will not be connected to the plane all the time.
If the airport is easy to talk to, it may agree.However, based on Xu Cang's understanding of Shanghai Airport, they don't seem to be compatible with the words "good talk", so the final result is likely to be the same.
After discussing with Mo Shangyun, they still couldn't find a suitable solution.Between freezing and suffocation, Xu Cang still chose the former helplessly.
After washing up in the lavatory, Xu Cang took off the quilt from the luggage rack, went to the rear of the cabin, found a place, and pushed up the armrest of the seat.The three connected seats can almost be used as a simple bed, and Xu Cang spread the quilt on it, and after lying in it, he wrapped the quilt again, making it look like a silkworm chrysalis.
After about 10 minutes, heat accumulated in the quilt. Generally speaking, the insulation effect is good, and the body feels relatively comfortable, except that there is no pillow.
As a result, within 10 minutes, Xu Cang fell into a deep sleep.I don't know how long it took, but Xu Cang woke up from the cold, and bursts of damp cold air rushed towards Xu Cang's body through the quilt.
I tilted my head to look at the porthole, and it was already covered with water droplets. It was really raining. Fortunately, the side window of the cockpit was not opened.However, judging by the frequency of rainwater falling on the portholes, the rain outside should not be heavy, so don't worry about the front cabin workshop.
It's just that it was cold outside, and when it rained again, the wind blowing in was even more icy cold.I don't know if it's Xu Cang's weak body, he was shivering from the cold, but Mo Shangyun, who was sleeping across from him, and the security guards in the row behind who were only wrapped in down jackets seemed to be sleeping soundly.
This time Xu Cang suffered a lot. He curled up like a prawn in the second half of the night, but his feet were still cold, so he couldn't sleep.It's just that I stayed up until three or four o'clock in the middle of the night, and the severe sleepiness still defeated the ice cold, and I fell asleep lightly.
However, the flight was about to take off at 10:[-] in the morning. According to the usual rules, boarding started [-] or [-] minutes earlier, which meant that Xu Cang had to wash up and get dressed before [-]:[-].
At about 05:30, Xu Cang, who had just slept for a short time, was woken up by someone, and it was Mo Shangyun who had already woken up.At this moment, there was no sound of rain outside, and it seemed that it was not as cold as before. It was a good time to sleep.Xu Cang, who didn't sleep well in the first place, didn't want to get up, curled up in the bed, thinking about going to sleep again.
"The guests are coming, are you still sleeping?"
Xu Cang felt more uncomfortable getting up than killing him at this moment, and stretched out a finger from the bed: "Just 10 minutes, and squint for another 10 minutes."
Mo Shangyun looked at his watch and felt that 10 minutes was not too much: "Alright then, I'll call you back in 10 minutes."
Leaving Xu Cang aside for the time being, Mo Shangyun went to wash himself first.As a result, ten minutes later, Mo Shangyun was going to wake Xu Cang up, but the crew came first.As soon as the flight crew came over, they had to clean up the cabin first, and when there were too many people, the surroundings were in a mess, Xu Cang didn't even think about it.
Since Spring and Summer Airlines lived in the same compound, Xu Cang's slovenly appearance could sometimes be seen by others, so the flight crew didn't react too much when they saw Xu Cang who was unwilling to get up.
With sleepy and dry eyes half-opened, Xu Cang scratched his messy hair, and found that it was already a little bright outside, as expected, the sunrise was early in winter.
The first thing Xu Cang did when he got up was standing in the aisle, and shouted loudly at Mo Shangyun who had already washed up in front of him: "Teacher, start the APU, turn on the air conditioner, it's freezing!"
"You still know the fuck, I thought you were going to sleep all the way back, like a pig." Mo Shangyun laughed and cursed, but he still entered the cockpit and started the APU.
The APU starts together, and then another component is turned on, and the heat comes immediately, and the cabin is not so cold as expected.Looking at the watch, it was five fifty, and the time was a little tight.However, this is a remote seat, and it will take about ten minutes for the shuttle bus to arrive here, so in fact, there is no rush.
Xu Cang even tidied up the quilt slowly. He was wearing a white close-fitting sweater on top, casual clothes on the outside, suit trousers on the bottom, a chicken nest on his head, a toothbrush in his mouth, and a A towel, and leisurely went to the bathroom in the front cabin.
At this moment, Mo Shangyun had already changed his clothes and was preparing for the plane in the cockpit.He was obviously a teacher, but ended up working as a co-pilot, and Xu Cang was a co-pilot, acting like an old teacher.
However, when Xu Cang passed by the front cabin workshop, he suddenly noticed something abnormal, and when he turned his head, he felt that the blood in his whole body had stopped, and his whole body seemed to have been subjected to petrification magic, and he stood frozen on the spot.
Passengers who were supposed to arrive within ten minutes have already arrived at the cabin door. There is a whole row of more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at Xu Cang who is "so dignified", and the leader is actually Zhou Yanping, the director of strategy department of Tiandong Airlines. .
Zhou Yanping was probably taken aback by Xu Cang's appearance, and said in a daze: "Xu Cang, what are you doing?"
It was Zhou Yanping's words that awakened Xu Cang who was beyond shocked. However, just as Xu Cang wanted to react, he suddenly discovered that a passenger behind Zhou Yanping raised his mobile phone and pointed it at himself.
Xu Cang shouted immediately: "Put it down!"
A quarter of an hour later, in the cockpit of the plane, Xu Cang, who was already dressed, was sitting in the right seat with a gloomy expression, while in the back, Zhou Yanping was rolling backwards and forwards laughing so hard that he was almost out of breath.
"Hahaha, let me say Xu Cang, don't you know that Shanghai Airport starts boarding passengers an hour in advance?" Zhou Yanping said with a smile: "I really didn't realize that you are so eclectic. .”
As soon as Xu Cang said this, Xu Cang immediately began to scold: "Even if other airports have remote seats, they can board passengers at most 10 or [-] minutes in advance. What are you doing at Shanghai Airport? One hour in advance? Hurrying to reincarnate !"
After all, it is slower to take the shuttle bus for the far plane, not like the covered bridge.Therefore, some airports will make some adjustments to the boarding time of planes parked in remote stands, from the general 45 minutes to 10 minutes.
This is understandable, but it is really unheard of for Shanghai Airport to directly mention an hour.
"Shanghai Airport is big, long live understanding." Zhou Yanping smiled.
"Big fart! Why didn't you see Hanjing Airport an hour earlier, why didn't you see Yangcheng Airport an hour earlier, why didn't you pick up passengers a day earlier, so capable?" It's a broken defense.
Zhou Yanping stretched out a finger: "You can't talk nonsense. Although Tiandong has a certain share in Shanghai Airport Group, Tiandong Airlines is not equal to Shanghai Airport, and the two should not be confused. You can scold the airport. , don’t take us with you.”
Xu Cang gritted his teeth, and covered his forehead with one hand, he could even feel the veins on his forehead twitching.
"It's okay, it's not a big deal, hehe." Zhou Yanping laughed loudly: "However, this time it's the right time."
This time the flight crew needed the approval of the headquarters of Tiandong Airlines to stay in the airport hotel of Tiandong Airlines. Zhou Yanping happened to know about this and knew that Xu Cang was at the Shanghai Airport, so he came over with the flight crew and wanted to go with the flight crew. Xu Cang said something, and ended up running into Xu Cang's "beggar version".
Xu Cang's temples twitched a few more times: "If Mr. Zhou got up early to see my jokes, then after reading it, if you have nothing to do, go quickly and don't hinder our work."
Mo Shangyun next to him smiled wryly and was speechless. It seemed that Xu Cang was really impatient to talk to the director of the strategy department of Tiandong Airlines.
However, Zhou Yanping didn't care about it, and said with a smile: "Then let's talk about something serious. Earlier, you called me and told me that you would open a route from Shanghai to South Korea. It's no problem, and it's not a big deal. You Is this overnight flight vacant to South Korea?"
When it came to business, Xu Cang couldn't speak too aggressively, so he could only suppress his anger: "I'm going to Korea, but not to Seoul, Busan and Incheon, the plan has changed."
"I heard that something happened to the Asiana Airlines you're working with, right? They used to fly from Yangcheng, but now they need to re-apply to change to Shanghai. How could it be approved after this incident happened?" Zhou Yanping I was curious: "If you don't go to Seoul, where are you going?"
Xu Cang was actually reluctant to tell Zhou Yanping, but when the right to operate the route changed later, Tiandong Airlines still had to nod and agree. In the end, Zhou Yanping still couldn't hide it, so he simply stopped hiding it: "Shanghai is flying to Jeju Island."
"Jeju Island? Asiana Airlines?" Zhou Yanping was a little confused about the situation: "Hey, Asiana Airlines is going to give you the route to Jeju Island? Although this route is not profitable, why should you talk about cooperation before?" Including the Jeju Island route?"
Xu Cang really didn't want to make it too clear to Zhou Yanping: "How about I dig out all my family background and show you all?"
Zhou Yanping grinned: "Forget it, I'm not interested. You can fly second-rate routes like Jeju Island if you want. When the management rights are about to change, tell me."
"By the way, if we want to fly the plane in Shanghai, can you do it?" The person in front of him is a big boss at the Shanghai airport. Although it is unlikely, Xu Cang decided to ask.
In the end, Zhou Yanping smiled and said, "Xu Cang, the personal relationship between us is not so good yet, right? Besides, the number of seats in Shanghai Airport is already tight, so it's not easy for you to let the plane in."
Xu Cang’s thinking is that he’s going to spend the night in Shanghai anyway, and the initial cost of the operation has already been invested. It’s really a waste to fly an overnight flight to Jianchuan. Airline, the utilization rate of the plane overnight will also rise.
However, as Xu Cang expected, Zhou Yanping said that there was nothing he could do to help.Indeed, I have an average personal relationship with Zhou Yanping, and it is considered good to be able to nod on international routes, but if we want to develop domestic routes, it will be a little over the line.
Xu Cang had no interest in this answer, just nodded.
"However, can you change the channel?"
Xu Cang looked back at Zhou Yanping: "What do you mean?"
"Your Chunxia Airlines should have some connection with Chunxia Tourism, right? Didn't you say that your boss used to be an executive of Chunxia Tourism? Ask Chunxia Tourism to help. The headquarters of Chunxia Tourism is near here, and the energy can be It’s not so big, so it’s not trivial to get you one or two domestic routes?”
Xu Cang rolled his eyes, he didn't know that the spring and summer travel industry is very powerful, the problem is that people don't necessarily take care of him.After all, Qin Xin has already left her job, and her influence in the spring and summer travel industry is already relatively small, all relying on her former friendship.Relying on this, it is impossible to win the route.
Moreover, if there is a chance, he would rather let Chunxia Tourism spread their air ticket sales than let Chunxia Tourism help him win domestic routes.With an extremely powerful offline sales network, if Chunxia Tourism is really willing to put Spring Airlines tickets on its own offline sales outlets, then it will really take off.
Zhou Yanping looked at Xu Cang who was expressionless, and laughed: "It seems that, apart from the same name, the relationship between your two families is not as deep as I thought."
Xu Cang didn't respond, but just snorted heavily to express his dissatisfaction.
"Forget it, let's stop here. One more thing, Xu Cang, have you received the order from the General Administration?"
Xu Cang couldn't understand at this time: "The summoning order, what order is summoning, and what are you doing?"
"Call the best batch of civil aviation pilots in the country to the Hanjing General Administration." Zhou Yanping said mysteriously: "It seems to be about the verification of a route in the northwest."
Xu Cang became interested, and even Mo Shangyun perked up his ears.
"Wherever you fly, why do you need to call people to the General Administration to discuss?"
Sure enough, Zhou Yanping was well informed: "It seems to be the Qitai-Shule route."
"Qiqitai-Shule?" Xu Cang's voice suddenly rose: "Qitai is the Qitai in the north of Tianshan Mountain, where can you fly civil aviation planes?"
"Oh, you still know about Qitai!?" This surprised Zhou Yanping a little, because Qitai is quite a remote place, and he never flew civil aviation before, but he didn't expect that Xu Cang not only listened to Having said that, I still know its approximate location.
"No, Shule is fine, it can be regarded as a border port airport. What does Qitai mean, can you fly there?"
As far as Xu Cang knew, the environment of Qitai Airport was extremely harsh, with snow all the year round, but Qitai was a small airport, which was quite terrible.When a large airliner like the 737 encounters rain and snow, the take-off and landing distance will increase a lot, but Qitai’s urgent runway does reduce the safety margin to a very small space, so there is never a civil aviation airport there. airliner.
But Zhou Yanping said that he wanted to verify the Qitai-Shule route, but in Xu Cang's memory, even after 20 years, there will be no commercial flights in Qitai. Could it be that his memory is confused.
"No. This Qitai-Shule route will not be a periodic commercial flight, it will be transported. That, understand?"
Mo Shangyun hummed, very puzzled by Zhou Yanping's charade.On the contrary, Xu Cang thought of the location of Qitai and figured it out a little bit.However, he still didn't fully understand: "The transportation task is not up to civil aviation, it's not that there is. Anyway, it's not necessary."
"Isn't it just in case, we are prepared, and in name, we civil aviation pilots are prepared, so we may need to discuss the possibility of civil aviation transportation at Qitai Airport." Zhou Yanping spoke in a twisted manner, but given the His identity is also understandable.
Xu Cang thought about it for a while, and he probably understood it.This route is to deal with the problem of insufficient capacity under special circumstances. It may not be used, but it must be available.
"Then now only the verification of the civil aircraft is left. What is the verification?"
This time it was difficult for Zhou Yanping: "I don't know about that. However, you are not allowed to be called on this kind of thing, have you not been notified?"
Although Xu Cang is the co-pilot, his legendary experience is definitely worthy of the title of an excellent pilot. He shouldn't have received the notice from the bureau.
However, Xu Cang really didn't receive it, and spread his hands: "Hey, I really haven't."
Xu Cang is quite happy, he is not too busy to panic, a bunch of things have not been done yet, how can he have time to go to the general office to discuss some route verification?Xu Cang didn't care if the General Administration didn't define him as an excellent pilot, and he didn't care about these false names.
It's good to steal half a day's leisure from Fusheng!
However, just as Xu Cang finished speaking, the mobile phone that was put aside suddenly rang, and it was the number of his master Chen Xiangdong.
The smile that was covering Xu Cang's face a moment ago disappeared instantly, and he had a bad premonition.Xu Cang really wanted to turn a blind eye to his first thought, but it's hard for him to pretend to be stupid now.
Gritting his teeth, Xu Cang answered the phone: "Master, it's so early?"
"Where are you?" Chen Xiangdong asked in a deep voice.
"I'm in Shanghai now, and I'll be back to Jianchuan in a while."
"Okay!" Chen Xiangdong shouted: "After you go back, clean up and come to the headquarters tomorrow. There is something important. Remember, don't try to make excuses."
This time, Xu Cang deeply understood what it means that extreme joy begets sorrow.One second, he was still secretly laughing that he didn't need to get involved, but the next second he was named by his master Chen Xiangdong, and it was a yes to repay the world.
However, Xu Cang's suffering did not stop there.After returning to Erhai that day, in the evening, Qin Xin received a multimedia message from one of her friends in the newspaper industry. The content of the multimedia message was a photo, a photo of the front page of the newspaper.
At first, Qin Xin didn't understand the meaning of her friend sending her a newspaper photo, but when she looked at the photo carefully, she suddenly found that the big photo on the front page was actually Xu Cang.
In the small conference room of Chunxia Aviation Base, Shi Lingling, Qin Xin, Lu Jinghua and Xu Cang were all there.However, the expressions on the faces of these people are quite wonderful.Except for Xu Cang who had a look of bitterness and hatred, the rest of the people were tense and uncomfortable, and the scene seemed a little funny.
At this moment, Xu Cang was holding Qin Xin's cell phone, staring at the cell phone screen with fire-breathing eyes. On it was a photo sent to her by her friend in the newspaper industry, saying that it was the headline of the newspaper that would be published tomorrow.
"You're fucking crazy." Xu Cang threw Qin Xin's cell phone aside, covered his face with his hands, and was so angry that he almost had brain congestion.
Why did I overturn in this stinky ditch when I was a hero?
As Qin Xin's phone slid to the side, the rest of the people saw the photos on the screen of the phone, they couldn't hold back, they all laughed, even Qin Xin covered his mouth and chuckled, the room was full of joy breath.
In that photo, Xu Cang was wearing white cotton wool underwear, a beige woolen jacket, suit trousers, disposable slippers on his feet, a blue towel on his shoulder, and a paper cup in his right hand. , with a toothbrush in his mouth, messy hair, and a face full of confusion, helplessness and dullness.
It was the scene where Xu Cang accidentally encountered passengers in the front cabin workshop.
Hearing the laughter around him, Xu Cang's blood pressure went up a lot again, he stood up all of a sudden, and slammed the table fiercely: "Laugh, laugh, what's so funny. I'm the only one who loses face, it's the whole company I'm losing face."
Who knew that Shi Lingling shook her head in a hurry: "No, no, you misunderstood, it's only you who lost face."
After finishing speaking, Shi Lingling's laughter became louder again.
Xu Cang felt that his blood vessels were about to burst, so he could only rub his temples to force himself to calm down.
However, whether it is tolerable or unbearable, Xu Cang was only silent for less than three seconds, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he slapped the table: "What the hell is this? Aren't entertainment newspapers reporting celebrity gossip? Why not send me a picture, I will sue him for violating my portrait rights!"
Thinking that I am omnipotent in the special situation, can call the wind and rain, can be called the god of flying, how can I suffer such shame and humiliation?
Xu Cang became more and more excited as he talked, and he even scolded at Shanghai Airport: "There is also that airport, passengers board one hour earlier, what nonsense rules, I will sue the airport as well."
After Xu Cang finished speaking, he began to fumble in his pocket: "Where is my mobile phone, I want to find Muhua's legal department, and I want to sue them to death!"
Seeing that Xu Cang really broke his defense, Qin Xin grabbed Xu Cang and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, it's not a big deal."
"It's not a big deal. Look at me now, a suave and handsome young man. Look at the photo. This person is just a beggar. Is there any reason for this? Is there any law of the king? This photo must be somewhere The passenger took it with his cell phone, I want to find it out and sue him."
At this moment, Xu Cang directly turned into a pioneer of law and politics, and told heaven and earth that he had to vent his anger.
"No, no, beggars don't have such cool clothes." Lu Jinghua laughed.
It can only be said that this photo of Xu Cang is too precious, white cotton wool underwear with a woolen jacket, underneath are suit pants, wearing disposable slippers, then who am I, where am I, what am I doing The innocent expression, the impact of the picture is really too strong.
Xu Cang's face turned dark all of a sudden, and he grabbed Lu Jinghua's collar: "Believe it or not, I'll throw you out right now, and shut up if you can't speak."
However, Lu Jinghua was not moved at all, and burst into tears from laughing.Lu Jinghua's move made Xu Cang even more furious, and he was about to explode.
Qin Xin quickly persuaded: "Okay, okay, let's stop laughing. Xu Cang, don't worry. Although this matter is unexpected, it is still a good thing."
"Good TM" Xu Cang's mentality was completely exploded at this time, if it wasn't Qin Xin who was talking, he would have to talk about what a TM is.Of course, it was not a verbal breakup, but a physical one.
"No, no, I mean this incident will make the reputation of Spring and Summer Airlines skyrocket." Qin Xin quickly explained: "My newspaper friend has been in the media for many years, and she has a very accurate vision. She feels that you This photo will definitely become a big hit, and even the name of our Spring and Summer Airlines will be spread this time, isn’t that a great thing?”
Shi Lingling worked in the mission center before, and has a lot of relevant experience: "Xu Cang, before the pilots were all well-dressed, but you are more casual this time. This kind of comparison is very topical, and it just matches our spring and summer. Airline cheap routes. If done well, it will be more effective than any advertisement. Xu Cang, Jiushen is also afraid of the alley, let’s use this opportunity to spread the reputation of Spring Airlines, what do you think?”
However, at the end of Shi Lingling's speech, he saw that the corners of Xu Cang's eyes were moist: "Are you crying?"
"Why are my eyes full of tears?" Xu Cang grabbed his phone, pointed the screen at everyone, and said sincerely, "Do you know? Every time this newspaper triggers a bullet in my heart. Tomorrow , I will be riddled with holes, is this what you want?"
With such words, everyone's smiles melted, and everyone showed shame. Among them, Qin Xin sighed: "Forget it, I'll refund the money."
Xu Cang was taken aback: "Return what?"
"My friends in the newspaper industry also knew that it's not good to use your photos privately, so they called me 1000 million, which is considered as the fee for using your portrait rights. If that issue of the newspaper sells well, there will be a price increase later." Qin Xin said, speaking It was full of shame: "However, since you are under so much pressure, I'd better refund the money and tell her not to send it."
Xu Cang, who was bitter and bitter a moment ago, froze for a moment, and then changed his face to become serious. He raised his hand to stop Qin Xin: "Ask your friend, what kind of photos does she need from me? It's all right."
(End of this chapter)
"Is it really so funny?" In the cockpit, Xu Cang uttered this soul torture: "Isn't it okay for the pilot to bring a quilt on the plane? Which regulation prohibits it? As for such a big reaction?"
Xu Cang glanced at Mo Shangyun who was deep in thought on the left, and suddenly felt a little strange: "Teacher, what are you thinking about?"
"I mean, do we have to optimize the folding standard of the quilt next time? You see, this time it is because the folding is not good enough to pass the X-ray machine. If it is based on the standard I used to be in the army, the quilt will definitely have to be folded again." If it is smaller, it might be able to pass through the X-ray machine directly." Mo Shangyun thought seriously: "This time I was too careless and wasted time."
Just at the security checkpoint, because the quilt could not pass through the X-ray machine, the security inspector had to check it manually.First, the folded bedding had to be unpacked, and then packed again after manual inspection, which was time-consuming and laborious, slowing down the efficiency of the entire crew's security check, so that the final flight was delayed by 10 minutes.
Of course, a 10-minute delay is not a big deal, but Mo Shangyun took this as an opportunity to sink into deep thinking and gave Xu Cang a huge shock.
"Forget it, you are more outrageous than me."
Facing Mo Shangyun's bewildered thinking, Xu Cang directly gave up the idea of getting a reasonable answer from Mo Shangyun, nestled in the seat, thinking about which movie to watch first after landing in Shanghai?
They landed at the Shanghai Airport almost in the afternoon, and they had to spend half the day on the plane before staying overnight.In fact, if the regulations are strictly followed, Xu Cang's behavior is actually not in compliance with the regulations.Because there is no suitable and standard rest area on the 737, at least the regulations do not allow the computer group to rest while sleeping on the seat.
Therefore, after landing in Shanghai, the entire crew on the plane is not really rested, that is, the duty period has not ended.Then, calculated in this way, the duty period must be exceeded.
However, even under the strict enforcement of various regulations in later generations, unless one is extremely unlucky and happens to be caught by the bureau, there will generally be no problems, let alone in this era of barbaric growth.
Since he has to stay on the plane for more than sixteen hours, Xu Cang can't count the planes at the airport if he has no way to pass the time, can he?Therefore, he borrowed a laptop from Qin Xin, downloaded some movies, and used it as a means of entertainment when he landed.
Although the millennium has just passed, the visual effects are naturally not comparable to the movies of later generations, but there are still many good movies in this era, which are enough for Xu Cang to kill time.
"Why is it outrageous? This is called finding a problem and then solving it." Mo Shangyun turned to the back and pouted: "However, those girls in the back seem to be quite ashamed of our behavior, and the security inspectors are also doing manual inspections. I was holding back my laughter all the time."
Mentioning this, Xu Cang became angry: "I don't understand, what's wrong with wearing a quilt, it's not a bomb!"
"You can't say that, after all, there are people with 'existing convictions'." Mo Shangyun rolled his eyes: "I didn't bring the bomb, but I did bring a knife on the plane."
Mo Shangyun directly mentioned Xu Cang's black history, Xu Cang's face froze, he couldn't say a word for a long time, and finally he could only wave his hands: "Forget it, laugh, laugh, let them do it, and do it in the future. It can save the hotel money, wait until the company signs a contract with the hotel.”
When it comes to saving money, Xu Cang has always shown a strong tendency to be spontaneous.
"After the flight starts, discuss with Shanghai Airport to keep the minimum flight frequency. After signing the contract with the hotel and the airport, we can increase the number of flights according to the situation." Xu Cang said: "Before this, this flight is only for us. The two of you should be responsible, it is estimated that others will not be able to hold back this face."
Xu Cang is a bit nice, he doesn't force others, at least he asked around, no pilot in the fleet can accept the shameful thing of carrying a quilt on the plane.However, in the cold winter, and the APU cannot be operated overnight on the plane, it cannot be carried dry, so you can only bring something to keep out the cold, and the quilt is naturally the best.
Xu Cang won't force others if they can't hold back their face. Only Mo Shangyun doesn't care, so this flight can only be given to them.
"I don't care. It's not like I'm doing something outrageous. There's nothing to be ashamed of. However, the flight time is quite long. If you are short of time, I will save it for you." Mo Shangyun thought for a while: "You can fly for a while. Time, let's get the experience time and landing up, and then quickly upgrade to the fourth level."
Xu Cang didn't really care. He used to have a three-year task to hire a pilot, but now he couldn't catch up anyway, so there was no need to be too demanding, so he didn't take it too seriously.However, just because Xu Cang showed off doesn't mean that Mo Shangyun agreed with Xu Cang's show. At least in Mo Shangyun's view, the four bars are still in line with Xu Cang's identity. There is always a sense of separation when doing some "shocking" special treatment.
Although in his heart he has no need for technical advancement, at least Xu Cang can't be too obvious on the outside, otherwise he will be scolded by Mo Shangyun.
"Well, it doesn't take much time to transfer to the fourth level. I'll make up for it later."
There are still beautiful things to say.
It will be faster for the co-pilot to go all the way to level [-]. It is more troublesome to transfer from level [-] to level [-], from level [-] to level [-], and from level [-] to captain.However, for Xu Cang, accumulating time and landing are the most troublesome things. After all, accidents happen all the time, and the flight will be grounded at every turn. Time and landing can't be improved at all. Technically, there is nothing to worry about.
"By the way, I heard that the bureau's audit center is checking our accounts, is there anything wrong?" Mo Shangyun worried.
Prior to this, many airlines complained to the Bureau that Spring and Summer Airlines disrupted the market with low-priced sales.However, these airlines still kept the bottom line and just reported it to the Civil Aviation Administration, so it was just an internal matter.
After receiving the complaint, people from the audit center of the Civil Aviation Administration entered Spring Airlines and asked Spring Airlines to explain whether the sale at a lower price violated the regulations. If the people from the Civil Aviation Administration cannot be convinced, then this matter is not the internal affairs of the Civil Aviation Administration of China. , the Bureau of Industry and Commerce may be involved, so the incident will be enlarged.
However, Xu Cang obviously didn't care much, because they didn't conduct malicious low-price sales below the cost price.Moreover, Lu Xiaoxiao will be in charge of this matter, and she must be able to handle it seamlessly.
"It's okay, it's a bit uncomfortable during this period, and it will be fine soon."
After all, it is under investigation by the bureau. During the investigation, the application for routes and other aspects will definitely be affected.Spring Airlines is now in a period of rapid development, and it is quite uncomfortable to be unable to develop due to the bureau's investigation.
However, this is also impossible.
Mo Shangyun became puzzled: "I really don't understand, what is going on in the minds of these airlines? What kind of habit is snitching?"
"Our appearance will bring some uncertain changes to the entire civil aviation market, and it is reasonable for them to want to eliminate variables. However, this time they are so united, I am afraid that someone is not planning it." Speaking of this, the first thing in Xu Cang's mind Suddenly, Yu Chen's appearance appeared.
"Someone is causing trouble?" Mo Shangyun asked eagerly, "Who is it?"
"I just guessed randomly." Naturally, it was impossible for Xu Cang to explain it to Mo Shangyun in detail, so he just passed it off.
However, in Xu Cang's heart, he is the one who will take revenge.It could be seen that Yu Chen didn't want to make things too ugly, otherwise those airlines would not be looking for the Civil Aviation Bureau, but the Industry and Commerce Bureau.
However, doubling the return has always been the principle Xu Cang pursues.Don't look at GM's hands and eyes now, and soon, they will encounter Waterloo.
After the plane landed in Shanghai, according to the plan, the crew was picked up by the crew of Tiandong Airlines, leaving only Xu Cang, Mo Shangyun and the security officer.The security officer didn't bring a quilt, but he stuffed a thick down jacket in the box, which seemed to be somewhat prepared, but he didn't know if a down jacket was enough to keep out the cold.
After everyone left, Xu Cang turned off the APU.Naturally, there is an air-conditioning system on the plane, but the air-conditioning needs an air source, and there are two ways to provide the air source, one is the engine bleed air, and the other is the APU bleed air.
With the engines off, there must be no engine bleed air.Compared with the running of the engine, the APU naturally consumes much less fuel, but it is still a small engine after all, and the money spent on running it all the time is unacceptable to Xu Cang.
Moreover, the APU itself is relatively delicate, and it is originally used as a supplement for engine power and air source.Even if you don't care about fuel consumption, driving the APU for more than ten hours is a huge burden on the APU.
Engines have maintenance cycles, so APUs naturally exist, and the maintenance cost of APUs is not small.It is too extravagant to consume the maintenance life of the APU just to be used as an air conditioner, and no airline is willing to do this.
After the maintenance came to disembark, the passenger elevator car was supposed to leave, but after Xu Cang discussed with the driver, the passenger elevator car stayed.
With the APU turned off, not only is the plane out of gas, but also the electricity, and the oven on the plane is out of use.However, the three of them didn't intend to use the oven to heat the meal, so they just ate a piece of bread and made up for it.
Fortunately, the temperature is not so low during the day, and it doesn't matter if there is no air conditioner.Xu Cangwo watched the movie all afternoon in the cabin, and finally his eyes were blurred. He really couldn't take it anymore, and finally stood on the passenger elevator car counting the plane in the evening.It's just that because of looking at the computer for too long, Xu Cang saw double images of the plane, and couldn't stand the cold wind outside, so Xu Cang retreated into the cabin soon.
Compared to Xu Cang's state of jumping up and down, Mo Shangyun is much quieter. He has been reading this book for a whole day, except for going to the bathroom, he doesn't move around.As for the safety officer, he even brought a small fitness equipment to exercise, or he wore a reflective vest and went down to the apron to run around the plane.
Xu Cang was not the kind of person who could calm down, but in the end he couldn't bear it anymore, so he took out his reflective vest and went down to run around the plane with the security guards.However, this behavior is really strange.Xu Cang saw it more than once. The pilot who got off to refuel at the next seat saw Xu Cang and the security officer, and his eyes were like looking at idiots.
The security officer may be a serious fitness enthusiast, and he doesn't care about other people's strange eyes, but Xu Cang can't stand it.Of course, the biggest reason for Xu Cang to give up was that he couldn't run anymore. After five laps, Xu Cang began to pant heavily, and his physique was really outrageous.
However, for Xu Cang, who is in the late stage of lazy cancer, it is impossible to exercise, so he immediately lay down on the plane.
In addition to warming up the body, running has another advantage, that is, it consumes energy.After going back and watching the movie for a while, I started to feel sleepy.And, as the sun went down, the cabin grew darker.
Mo Shangyun probably wasn't sleepy, so he took out the flashlight used by pilots to check around the plane to provide a light source, and continued to read.The security guard wrapped himself in a down jacket at around eight o'clock and went to sleep in the last row.
It's okay when the sun is shining during the day, I don't feel anything, but at night, the wind blows in from the cabin door.Xu Cang watched the movie in the second row at first, but finally couldn't take it anymore, and retreated all the way to the third row from the bottom.
Moreover, since the plane has no power supply, and the sockets on it are also powerless, the notebook can only use its own power supply, and eventually the power supply runs out and shuts down.Under the boredom, Xu Cang also felt a little tired, so he planned to go to bed.
During the daytime, Xu Cang asked the airport to fill up the plane with fresh water, which was enough for three people. The biggest problem was the cold. With such a big opening in the front cabin, who could bear it?
Seeing Mo Shangyun reading in the front row as if nothing had happened, Xu Cang leaned over and said, "Teacher, are you still asleep?"
"I'm old, I don't sleep much, just sleep when you're sleepy, don't worry about me." Mo Shangyun didn't even lift his head, probably because he was absorbed in reading and couldn't bear to stop.
Xu Cang looked at the front cabin, and he could even hear the whistling wind in his ears.In Mo Shangyun's position, there was a gust of cold wind, which Xu Cang felt unbearable at his age. It can be seen that Mo Shangyun's physique is really good.
Not knowing if he understood what Xu Cang was thinking, Mo Shangyun said, "Cold?"
"Teacher, you are not cold." Xu Cang asked back.
"I'm fine. If you feel cold, close the hatch. Will you close the hatch?"
"Yes, yes." In the practical training of emergency training, Xu Cang has learned to open and close the hatch, but there is a problem: "If the front cabin is also closed, the plane will not be able to breathe, and we will be suffocated." what to do?"
This time, Mo Shangyun was directly questioned, there was no bleed air, and once the hatch was closed, the inside was almost airtight, which was really risky.
Mo Shangyun stopped reading, turned to look at Xu Cang: "Then open the side window of the cockpit, just leave a vent."
"But the forecast says it will rain tonight."
"Is it raining?" Mo Shangyun smiled: "Then it's better to open the front cabin door."
It's okay to have a little rainwater in the front cabin workshop, but if the rainwater enters the cockpit and wets the electronic equipment, the loss will be great, and no one dares to take this risk.
Xu Cang was speechless for a moment, held back for a long time and hummed, with a bitter face: "I knew I should have brought two quilts. No, it should be arranged for a covered bridge."
There are covered bridges connected to it, which can block most of the wind and prevent rainwater from entering.However, this method is not necessarily easy to use.Generally speaking, after the flight, the corridor bridge will be withdrawn and will not be connected to the plane all the time.
If the airport is easy to talk to, it may agree.However, based on Xu Cang's understanding of Shanghai Airport, they don't seem to be compatible with the words "good talk", so the final result is likely to be the same.
After discussing with Mo Shangyun, they still couldn't find a suitable solution.Between freezing and suffocation, Xu Cang still chose the former helplessly.
After washing up in the lavatory, Xu Cang took off the quilt from the luggage rack, went to the rear of the cabin, found a place, and pushed up the armrest of the seat.The three connected seats can almost be used as a simple bed, and Xu Cang spread the quilt on it, and after lying in it, he wrapped the quilt again, making it look like a silkworm chrysalis.
After about 10 minutes, heat accumulated in the quilt. Generally speaking, the insulation effect is good, and the body feels relatively comfortable, except that there is no pillow.
As a result, within 10 minutes, Xu Cang fell into a deep sleep.I don't know how long it took, but Xu Cang woke up from the cold, and bursts of damp cold air rushed towards Xu Cang's body through the quilt.
I tilted my head to look at the porthole, and it was already covered with water droplets. It was really raining. Fortunately, the side window of the cockpit was not opened.However, judging by the frequency of rainwater falling on the portholes, the rain outside should not be heavy, so don't worry about the front cabin workshop.
It's just that it was cold outside, and when it rained again, the wind blowing in was even more icy cold.I don't know if it's Xu Cang's weak body, he was shivering from the cold, but Mo Shangyun, who was sleeping across from him, and the security guards in the row behind who were only wrapped in down jackets seemed to be sleeping soundly.
This time Xu Cang suffered a lot. He curled up like a prawn in the second half of the night, but his feet were still cold, so he couldn't sleep.It's just that I stayed up until three or four o'clock in the middle of the night, and the severe sleepiness still defeated the ice cold, and I fell asleep lightly.
However, the flight was about to take off at 10:[-] in the morning. According to the usual rules, boarding started [-] or [-] minutes earlier, which meant that Xu Cang had to wash up and get dressed before [-]:[-].
At about 05:30, Xu Cang, who had just slept for a short time, was woken up by someone, and it was Mo Shangyun who had already woken up.At this moment, there was no sound of rain outside, and it seemed that it was not as cold as before. It was a good time to sleep.Xu Cang, who didn't sleep well in the first place, didn't want to get up, curled up in the bed, thinking about going to sleep again.
"The guests are coming, are you still sleeping?"
Xu Cang felt more uncomfortable getting up than killing him at this moment, and stretched out a finger from the bed: "Just 10 minutes, and squint for another 10 minutes."
Mo Shangyun looked at his watch and felt that 10 minutes was not too much: "Alright then, I'll call you back in 10 minutes."
Leaving Xu Cang aside for the time being, Mo Shangyun went to wash himself first.As a result, ten minutes later, Mo Shangyun was going to wake Xu Cang up, but the crew came first.As soon as the flight crew came over, they had to clean up the cabin first, and when there were too many people, the surroundings were in a mess, Xu Cang didn't even think about it.
Since Spring and Summer Airlines lived in the same compound, Xu Cang's slovenly appearance could sometimes be seen by others, so the flight crew didn't react too much when they saw Xu Cang who was unwilling to get up.
With sleepy and dry eyes half-opened, Xu Cang scratched his messy hair, and found that it was already a little bright outside, as expected, the sunrise was early in winter.
The first thing Xu Cang did when he got up was standing in the aisle, and shouted loudly at Mo Shangyun who had already washed up in front of him: "Teacher, start the APU, turn on the air conditioner, it's freezing!"
"You still know the fuck, I thought you were going to sleep all the way back, like a pig." Mo Shangyun laughed and cursed, but he still entered the cockpit and started the APU.
The APU starts together, and then another component is turned on, and the heat comes immediately, and the cabin is not so cold as expected.Looking at the watch, it was five fifty, and the time was a little tight.However, this is a remote seat, and it will take about ten minutes for the shuttle bus to arrive here, so in fact, there is no rush.
Xu Cang even tidied up the quilt slowly. He was wearing a white close-fitting sweater on top, casual clothes on the outside, suit trousers on the bottom, a chicken nest on his head, a toothbrush in his mouth, and a A towel, and leisurely went to the bathroom in the front cabin.
At this moment, Mo Shangyun had already changed his clothes and was preparing for the plane in the cockpit.He was obviously a teacher, but ended up working as a co-pilot, and Xu Cang was a co-pilot, acting like an old teacher.
However, when Xu Cang passed by the front cabin workshop, he suddenly noticed something abnormal, and when he turned his head, he felt that the blood in his whole body had stopped, and his whole body seemed to have been subjected to petrification magic, and he stood frozen on the spot.
Passengers who were supposed to arrive within ten minutes have already arrived at the cabin door. There is a whole row of more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at Xu Cang who is "so dignified", and the leader is actually Zhou Yanping, the director of strategy department of Tiandong Airlines. .
Zhou Yanping was probably taken aback by Xu Cang's appearance, and said in a daze: "Xu Cang, what are you doing?"
It was Zhou Yanping's words that awakened Xu Cang who was beyond shocked. However, just as Xu Cang wanted to react, he suddenly discovered that a passenger behind Zhou Yanping raised his mobile phone and pointed it at himself.
Xu Cang shouted immediately: "Put it down!"
A quarter of an hour later, in the cockpit of the plane, Xu Cang, who was already dressed, was sitting in the right seat with a gloomy expression, while in the back, Zhou Yanping was rolling backwards and forwards laughing so hard that he was almost out of breath.
"Hahaha, let me say Xu Cang, don't you know that Shanghai Airport starts boarding passengers an hour in advance?" Zhou Yanping said with a smile: "I really didn't realize that you are so eclectic. .”
As soon as Xu Cang said this, Xu Cang immediately began to scold: "Even if other airports have remote seats, they can board passengers at most 10 or [-] minutes in advance. What are you doing at Shanghai Airport? One hour in advance? Hurrying to reincarnate !"
After all, it is slower to take the shuttle bus for the far plane, not like the covered bridge.Therefore, some airports will make some adjustments to the boarding time of planes parked in remote stands, from the general 45 minutes to 10 minutes.
This is understandable, but it is really unheard of for Shanghai Airport to directly mention an hour.
"Shanghai Airport is big, long live understanding." Zhou Yanping smiled.
"Big fart! Why didn't you see Hanjing Airport an hour earlier, why didn't you see Yangcheng Airport an hour earlier, why didn't you pick up passengers a day earlier, so capable?" It's a broken defense.
Zhou Yanping stretched out a finger: "You can't talk nonsense. Although Tiandong has a certain share in Shanghai Airport Group, Tiandong Airlines is not equal to Shanghai Airport, and the two should not be confused. You can scold the airport. , don’t take us with you.”
Xu Cang gritted his teeth, and covered his forehead with one hand, he could even feel the veins on his forehead twitching.
"It's okay, it's not a big deal, hehe." Zhou Yanping laughed loudly: "However, this time it's the right time."
This time the flight crew needed the approval of the headquarters of Tiandong Airlines to stay in the airport hotel of Tiandong Airlines. Zhou Yanping happened to know about this and knew that Xu Cang was at the Shanghai Airport, so he came over with the flight crew and wanted to go with the flight crew. Xu Cang said something, and ended up running into Xu Cang's "beggar version".
Xu Cang's temples twitched a few more times: "If Mr. Zhou got up early to see my jokes, then after reading it, if you have nothing to do, go quickly and don't hinder our work."
Mo Shangyun next to him smiled wryly and was speechless. It seemed that Xu Cang was really impatient to talk to the director of the strategy department of Tiandong Airlines.
However, Zhou Yanping didn't care about it, and said with a smile: "Then let's talk about something serious. Earlier, you called me and told me that you would open a route from Shanghai to South Korea. It's no problem, and it's not a big deal. You Is this overnight flight vacant to South Korea?"
When it came to business, Xu Cang couldn't speak too aggressively, so he could only suppress his anger: "I'm going to Korea, but not to Seoul, Busan and Incheon, the plan has changed."
"I heard that something happened to the Asiana Airlines you're working with, right? They used to fly from Yangcheng, but now they need to re-apply to change to Shanghai. How could it be approved after this incident happened?" Zhou Yanping I was curious: "If you don't go to Seoul, where are you going?"
Xu Cang was actually reluctant to tell Zhou Yanping, but when the right to operate the route changed later, Tiandong Airlines still had to nod and agree. In the end, Zhou Yanping still couldn't hide it, so he simply stopped hiding it: "Shanghai is flying to Jeju Island."
"Jeju Island? Asiana Airlines?" Zhou Yanping was a little confused about the situation: "Hey, Asiana Airlines is going to give you the route to Jeju Island? Although this route is not profitable, why should you talk about cooperation before?" Including the Jeju Island route?"
Xu Cang really didn't want to make it too clear to Zhou Yanping: "How about I dig out all my family background and show you all?"
Zhou Yanping grinned: "Forget it, I'm not interested. You can fly second-rate routes like Jeju Island if you want. When the management rights are about to change, tell me."
"By the way, if we want to fly the plane in Shanghai, can you do it?" The person in front of him is a big boss at the Shanghai airport. Although it is unlikely, Xu Cang decided to ask.
In the end, Zhou Yanping smiled and said, "Xu Cang, the personal relationship between us is not so good yet, right? Besides, the number of seats in Shanghai Airport is already tight, so it's not easy for you to let the plane in."
Xu Cang’s thinking is that he’s going to spend the night in Shanghai anyway, and the initial cost of the operation has already been invested. It’s really a waste to fly an overnight flight to Jianchuan. Airline, the utilization rate of the plane overnight will also rise.
However, as Xu Cang expected, Zhou Yanping said that there was nothing he could do to help.Indeed, I have an average personal relationship with Zhou Yanping, and it is considered good to be able to nod on international routes, but if we want to develop domestic routes, it will be a little over the line.
Xu Cang had no interest in this answer, just nodded.
"However, can you change the channel?"
Xu Cang looked back at Zhou Yanping: "What do you mean?"
"Your Chunxia Airlines should have some connection with Chunxia Tourism, right? Didn't you say that your boss used to be an executive of Chunxia Tourism? Ask Chunxia Tourism to help. The headquarters of Chunxia Tourism is near here, and the energy can be It’s not so big, so it’s not trivial to get you one or two domestic routes?”
Xu Cang rolled his eyes, he didn't know that the spring and summer travel industry is very powerful, the problem is that people don't necessarily take care of him.After all, Qin Xin has already left her job, and her influence in the spring and summer travel industry is already relatively small, all relying on her former friendship.Relying on this, it is impossible to win the route.
Moreover, if there is a chance, he would rather let Chunxia Tourism spread their air ticket sales than let Chunxia Tourism help him win domestic routes.With an extremely powerful offline sales network, if Chunxia Tourism is really willing to put Spring Airlines tickets on its own offline sales outlets, then it will really take off.
Zhou Yanping looked at Xu Cang who was expressionless, and laughed: "It seems that, apart from the same name, the relationship between your two families is not as deep as I thought."
Xu Cang didn't respond, but just snorted heavily to express his dissatisfaction.
"Forget it, let's stop here. One more thing, Xu Cang, have you received the order from the General Administration?"
Xu Cang couldn't understand at this time: "The summoning order, what order is summoning, and what are you doing?"
"Call the best batch of civil aviation pilots in the country to the Hanjing General Administration." Zhou Yanping said mysteriously: "It seems to be about the verification of a route in the northwest."
Xu Cang became interested, and even Mo Shangyun perked up his ears.
"Wherever you fly, why do you need to call people to the General Administration to discuss?"
Sure enough, Zhou Yanping was well informed: "It seems to be the Qitai-Shule route."
"Qiqitai-Shule?" Xu Cang's voice suddenly rose: "Qitai is the Qitai in the north of Tianshan Mountain, where can you fly civil aviation planes?"
"Oh, you still know about Qitai!?" This surprised Zhou Yanping a little, because Qitai is quite a remote place, and he never flew civil aviation before, but he didn't expect that Xu Cang not only listened to Having said that, I still know its approximate location.
"No, Shule is fine, it can be regarded as a border port airport. What does Qitai mean, can you fly there?"
As far as Xu Cang knew, the environment of Qitai Airport was extremely harsh, with snow all the year round, but Qitai was a small airport, which was quite terrible.When a large airliner like the 737 encounters rain and snow, the take-off and landing distance will increase a lot, but Qitai’s urgent runway does reduce the safety margin to a very small space, so there is never a civil aviation airport there. airliner.
But Zhou Yanping said that he wanted to verify the Qitai-Shule route, but in Xu Cang's memory, even after 20 years, there will be no commercial flights in Qitai. Could it be that his memory is confused.
"No. This Qitai-Shule route will not be a periodic commercial flight, it will be transported. That, understand?"
Mo Shangyun hummed, very puzzled by Zhou Yanping's charade.On the contrary, Xu Cang thought of the location of Qitai and figured it out a little bit.However, he still didn't fully understand: "The transportation task is not up to civil aviation, it's not that there is. Anyway, it's not necessary."
"Isn't it just in case, we are prepared, and in name, we civil aviation pilots are prepared, so we may need to discuss the possibility of civil aviation transportation at Qitai Airport." Zhou Yanping spoke in a twisted manner, but given the His identity is also understandable.
Xu Cang thought about it for a while, and he probably understood it.This route is to deal with the problem of insufficient capacity under special circumstances. It may not be used, but it must be available.
"Then now only the verification of the civil aircraft is left. What is the verification?"
This time it was difficult for Zhou Yanping: "I don't know about that. However, you are not allowed to be called on this kind of thing, have you not been notified?"
Although Xu Cang is the co-pilot, his legendary experience is definitely worthy of the title of an excellent pilot. He shouldn't have received the notice from the bureau.
However, Xu Cang really didn't receive it, and spread his hands: "Hey, I really haven't."
Xu Cang is quite happy, he is not too busy to panic, a bunch of things have not been done yet, how can he have time to go to the general office to discuss some route verification?Xu Cang didn't care if the General Administration didn't define him as an excellent pilot, and he didn't care about these false names.
It's good to steal half a day's leisure from Fusheng!
However, just as Xu Cang finished speaking, the mobile phone that was put aside suddenly rang, and it was the number of his master Chen Xiangdong.
The smile that was covering Xu Cang's face a moment ago disappeared instantly, and he had a bad premonition.Xu Cang really wanted to turn a blind eye to his first thought, but it's hard for him to pretend to be stupid now.
Gritting his teeth, Xu Cang answered the phone: "Master, it's so early?"
"Where are you?" Chen Xiangdong asked in a deep voice.
"I'm in Shanghai now, and I'll be back to Jianchuan in a while."
"Okay!" Chen Xiangdong shouted: "After you go back, clean up and come to the headquarters tomorrow. There is something important. Remember, don't try to make excuses."
This time, Xu Cang deeply understood what it means that extreme joy begets sorrow.One second, he was still secretly laughing that he didn't need to get involved, but the next second he was named by his master Chen Xiangdong, and it was a yes to repay the world.
However, Xu Cang's suffering did not stop there.After returning to Erhai that day, in the evening, Qin Xin received a multimedia message from one of her friends in the newspaper industry. The content of the multimedia message was a photo, a photo of the front page of the newspaper.
At first, Qin Xin didn't understand the meaning of her friend sending her a newspaper photo, but when she looked at the photo carefully, she suddenly found that the big photo on the front page was actually Xu Cang.
In the small conference room of Chunxia Aviation Base, Shi Lingling, Qin Xin, Lu Jinghua and Xu Cang were all there.However, the expressions on the faces of these people are quite wonderful.Except for Xu Cang who had a look of bitterness and hatred, the rest of the people were tense and uncomfortable, and the scene seemed a little funny.
At this moment, Xu Cang was holding Qin Xin's cell phone, staring at the cell phone screen with fire-breathing eyes. On it was a photo sent to her by her friend in the newspaper industry, saying that it was the headline of the newspaper that would be published tomorrow.
"You're fucking crazy." Xu Cang threw Qin Xin's cell phone aside, covered his face with his hands, and was so angry that he almost had brain congestion.
Why did I overturn in this stinky ditch when I was a hero?
As Qin Xin's phone slid to the side, the rest of the people saw the photos on the screen of the phone, they couldn't hold back, they all laughed, even Qin Xin covered his mouth and chuckled, the room was full of joy breath.
In that photo, Xu Cang was wearing white cotton wool underwear, a beige woolen jacket, suit trousers, disposable slippers on his feet, a blue towel on his shoulder, and a paper cup in his right hand. , with a toothbrush in his mouth, messy hair, and a face full of confusion, helplessness and dullness.
It was the scene where Xu Cang accidentally encountered passengers in the front cabin workshop.
Hearing the laughter around him, Xu Cang's blood pressure went up a lot again, he stood up all of a sudden, and slammed the table fiercely: "Laugh, laugh, what's so funny. I'm the only one who loses face, it's the whole company I'm losing face."
Who knew that Shi Lingling shook her head in a hurry: "No, no, you misunderstood, it's only you who lost face."
After finishing speaking, Shi Lingling's laughter became louder again.
Xu Cang felt that his blood vessels were about to burst, so he could only rub his temples to force himself to calm down.
However, whether it is tolerable or unbearable, Xu Cang was only silent for less than three seconds, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he slapped the table: "What the hell is this? Aren't entertainment newspapers reporting celebrity gossip? Why not send me a picture, I will sue him for violating my portrait rights!"
Thinking that I am omnipotent in the special situation, can call the wind and rain, can be called the god of flying, how can I suffer such shame and humiliation?
Xu Cang became more and more excited as he talked, and he even scolded at Shanghai Airport: "There is also that airport, passengers board one hour earlier, what nonsense rules, I will sue the airport as well."
After Xu Cang finished speaking, he began to fumble in his pocket: "Where is my mobile phone, I want to find Muhua's legal department, and I want to sue them to death!"
Seeing that Xu Cang really broke his defense, Qin Xin grabbed Xu Cang and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, it's not a big deal."
"It's not a big deal. Look at me now, a suave and handsome young man. Look at the photo. This person is just a beggar. Is there any reason for this? Is there any law of the king? This photo must be somewhere The passenger took it with his cell phone, I want to find it out and sue him."
At this moment, Xu Cang directly turned into a pioneer of law and politics, and told heaven and earth that he had to vent his anger.
"No, no, beggars don't have such cool clothes." Lu Jinghua laughed.
It can only be said that this photo of Xu Cang is too precious, white cotton wool underwear with a woolen jacket, underneath are suit pants, wearing disposable slippers, then who am I, where am I, what am I doing The innocent expression, the impact of the picture is really too strong.
Xu Cang's face turned dark all of a sudden, and he grabbed Lu Jinghua's collar: "Believe it or not, I'll throw you out right now, and shut up if you can't speak."
However, Lu Jinghua was not moved at all, and burst into tears from laughing.Lu Jinghua's move made Xu Cang even more furious, and he was about to explode.
Qin Xin quickly persuaded: "Okay, okay, let's stop laughing. Xu Cang, don't worry. Although this matter is unexpected, it is still a good thing."
"Good TM" Xu Cang's mentality was completely exploded at this time, if it wasn't Qin Xin who was talking, he would have to talk about what a TM is.Of course, it was not a verbal breakup, but a physical one.
"No, no, I mean this incident will make the reputation of Spring and Summer Airlines skyrocket." Qin Xin quickly explained: "My newspaper friend has been in the media for many years, and she has a very accurate vision. She feels that you This photo will definitely become a big hit, and even the name of our Spring and Summer Airlines will be spread this time, isn’t that a great thing?”
Shi Lingling worked in the mission center before, and has a lot of relevant experience: "Xu Cang, before the pilots were all well-dressed, but you are more casual this time. This kind of comparison is very topical, and it just matches our spring and summer. Airline cheap routes. If done well, it will be more effective than any advertisement. Xu Cang, Jiushen is also afraid of the alley, let’s use this opportunity to spread the reputation of Spring Airlines, what do you think?”
However, at the end of Shi Lingling's speech, he saw that the corners of Xu Cang's eyes were moist: "Are you crying?"
"Why are my eyes full of tears?" Xu Cang grabbed his phone, pointed the screen at everyone, and said sincerely, "Do you know? Every time this newspaper triggers a bullet in my heart. Tomorrow , I will be riddled with holes, is this what you want?"
With such words, everyone's smiles melted, and everyone showed shame. Among them, Qin Xin sighed: "Forget it, I'll refund the money."
Xu Cang was taken aback: "Return what?"
"My friends in the newspaper industry also knew that it's not good to use your photos privately, so they called me 1000 million, which is considered as the fee for using your portrait rights. If that issue of the newspaper sells well, there will be a price increase later." Qin Xin said, speaking It was full of shame: "However, since you are under so much pressure, I'd better refund the money and tell her not to send it."
Xu Cang, who was bitter and bitter a moment ago, froze for a moment, and then changed his face to become serious. He raised his hand to stop Qin Xin: "Ask your friend, what kind of photos does she need from me? It's all right."
