Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

The expected bureau investigation was exactly as Xu Cang expected. The General Administration did not send anyone over, and even the investigation team from the Southwest Administration Bureau did not embarrass Xu Cang and the others.

In the handling of the 9951n incident, the most outrageous operation was naturally to fly the 737 upside down.However, this kind of operation was forced to deal with special circumstances. Under the circumstances at that time, it seemed that there was really no more so-called generally acceptable operation.Moreover, for something unheard of like flying an inverted 737, the investigators of the bureau are really beyond their comprehension, and they really didn't focus too much on this issue.

In fact, the focus of the 9951n is whether there is any problem with the sensor centering device of the elevator. Now we have to wait for the technical report.If the elevator feels that there is really a problem with the centering device, then basically the bureau will not hold the crew accountable.

During this period, Xu Cang, Mo Shangyun and Tan Heling all had to stop.Xu Cang had nothing to do with it, anyway, he had a relationship with Blue Sky Airlines before, and he wanted to fly only after his own Spring Airlines was established, and then directly relied on Spring Airlines to regain his flight qualification.

And Mo Shangyun and Tan Heling both have their own grounding insurance. To be precise, basically all pilots have grounding insurance. Their grounding during the investigation period will be compensated later. Therefore, the two The reaction is actually not great.

Xu Cang has settled the request to form an airline company with three planes, and the bureau's investigation didn't make it too difficult for anyone. He is still in a good mood.

No, on a sunny morning, Xu Cang took a leisurely trip to Blue Sky Airlines, where he was going to handle everything.

The doorman of Blue Sky Airlines was still as lazy as ever, Xu Cang actually didn't have Blue Sky Airline's ID anymore, so he went in ostentatiously, so he didn't have to call Lu Jinghua to pick him up.

Xu Cang entered the base building and headed straight to Lu Jinghua's office, where he met Luo Yong, the vice president of operations, and the manager of the marketing department who had conflicts before.

"It's very lively." Seeing that there were quite a lot of people in the small office, Xu Cang came in and sat on the small sofa, looking at the only standing Lu Jinghua: "What are you doing standing, sit down!"

Xu Cang's words and deeds are completely treating this place as his home, and he doesn't pay attention to Luo Yong and the marketing manager at all.

Luo Yong, who was sitting on Lu Jinghua's office chair, was fine, he knew that Xu Cang was not targeting him, while the marketing manager who was sitting on the opposite sofa turned cold, but he didn't say anything.

Instead of listening to Xu Cang and sitting down, Lu Jinghua walked up to Xu Cang and patted him on the shoulder: "The investigation by the bureau is over?"

"It's fine for the time being, and now I'm waiting for the inspection report of the elevator feeling centering device. It's been stopped for a while, but I think it will be settled soon."

Lu Jinghua smiled and said, "You spend more time grounded than flying, so you're quite comfortable."

Xu Cang had accidents all the time, but whenever an accident happened, he had to stop during the investigation afterwards, so that Xu Cang basically flew and stopped, and didn't fly seriously.

"You must be comfortable, at least you have time to come and take care of some annoying things." Xu Cang looked past Lu Jinghua and landed on the manager of the marketing department on the opposite side, and said with a smile: "I heard that you will also take back the personnel that you rented to us. ?”…

Wet leasing not only includes aircraft, but also related personnel.The wet lease agreement signed by Qin Xin and Blue Sky Airlines was even more extensive, including the lease of some ground administrative personnel.

"If we want to terminate the agreement, the plane and people will naturally be taken back." The marketing manager said coldly.

Xu Cang raised a finger: "Airplanes can be retracted, but people cannot."

As soon as this remark came out, the manager of the marketing department, who was already on fire, jumped up: "Xu Cang, don't go too far. We haven't settled with you yet, but you came here to boss me around first. You said the plane can be taken back, but now the plane is gone." , it’s almost scrapped, you still have the face to say it!”

Facing the angry marketing manager, Xu Cang said unhurriedly: "First of all, the source of aircraft scrapping is the inherent defects of the aircraft, which has nothing to do with us subjectively. Second, after the bureau's investigation results come out, We should compensate you, not a penny less. Third, you hope that the compensation for your breach of contract will be prepared in advance, and the condition of the plane will not affect the fact that you terminated the contract early. Fourth, I still say that, people stay Down!"

The dispute with Blue Sky Airlines arising from the scrapping of the aircraft may seem complicated, but it is actually not difficult to deal with.Anyway, step by step, I first paid Blue Sky Airlines the money for scrapping the plane, and then Blue Sky Airlines compensated itself for the breach of contract. The relationship is very clear.

"They are from Blue Sky Airlines, why leave them to you?" the marketing manager said angrily.

Luo Yong on the side also persuaded: "Yes, Xu Cang. You go and recruit yourself, there is no need to rob our people."

These people are the founding employees of the Erhai base, and they resolutely went to Erhai with him after knowing the situation of the Erhai base. With this realization, Xu Cang also wants to keep these people.

"Maybe you haven't figured out the situation yet, so let's put it this way!" Xu Cang stood up slowly, looked down at the marketing manager, but pointed at Luo Yong with one hand: "I remember that a long time ago, the company gave orders to various departments. A circular was issued, requesting that if there is any content that needs to be reported, leapfrog reporting is not allowed, let alone cross-departmental reporting, is there such a circular?"

The manager of the marketing department lowered his head and thought for a moment: "It seems to be there, what do you mean?"

"It seems that you don't know the reason for that notice." Xu Cang smiled and said, "It's a pity that that notice was issued because of me."

As Xu Cang said, he glanced at the embarrassed Luo Yong: "Mr. Luo, do you still remember?"

Luo Yong regretted coming to Lu Jinghua's place to discuss things more and more, so he could only laugh dryly: "Xu Cang, there was some misunderstanding at that time, don't take it to heart."

"At that time, I was so naive that it made people feel ridiculous." Xu Cang let out a sigh of relief, his words were full of sarcasm.

Xu Cang was the first to realize that there was a problem with 1566, and even wanted to use his own money to send 1566 for a D inspection, but even so, Yu Fengtian, the then vice president of maintenance, still disagreed.Afterwards, Yu Fengtian suspected that Xu Cang was meddling in his own business, and notified various departments, asking grassroots employees not to allow leapfrogging, and to respond to problems across departments.

Xu Cang remembered that when the announcement was made at that time, many people laughed at him because of it.In the end, things are different, and everything is confirming what Xu Cang said. …

"Xu Cang, what a misunderstanding at that time!" Luo Yong repeated, there was even a little pleading in his words, because he had already guessed what Xu Cang meant.

Xu Cang snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "The same thing, you can talk to the bureau, or you can refer to the previous example of the s2 switch."

"S2 switch?" The manager of the marketing department shuddered, and the deeply buried memory suddenly began to stir.

It is still related to Xu Cang. Before the s2 switch incident happened, Xu Cang also foresaw the failure in advance, and confronted Yu Fengtian in full view, but Yu Fengtian still turned a deaf ear to it. In the end, there was a problem with the hatch locking system of the s2 switch. .

After the incident, the bureau found this problem after investigation, and felt that the security vigilance of Blue Sky Airlines from top to bottom was not high, and immediately issued a decision to reduce the number of flights.

In this way, the marketing department's one-year target task will be ruined, and the year-end bonus will be nothing to look forward to.

This incident was a sore point that the manager of the marketing department had been obsessed with. The slightest mention of it by Xu Cang aroused his nerves like a conditioned reflex.Very keenly, the manager of the marketing department glanced over and asked Luo Yong, "What is it?"

It seems that the manager of the marketing department really doesn't know what happened before 1566.

Luo Yong scratched his head in embarrassment, finally got up, went to the marketing manager and whispered a few words.As a result, within a few words, the marketing manager's face turned green.

Xu Cang looked at the two whispering on the opposite side, waited for a while, and asked with a smile: "Understood?"

As a result, when Xu Cang asked such a question, the manager of the marketing department gritted his teeth and cursed: "Yu Fengtian, you bastard!"

Both the 1566 and the s2 switch are related to Yu Fengtian, but the flight department and the marketing department are responsible for what happened.

"Xu Cang, this matter is Yu Fengtian's responsibility alone, and he has been dismissed now!" the marketing manager hurriedly said.

"Whether Yu Fengtian lives or dies has nothing to do with me. I'm talking to you now. Do you want me to talk about this matter with the bureau again?" Can you reduce it further?"

The manager of the marketing department almost didn't continue, and was so anxious that his head was sweating: "You have a debtor and a debtor. What do you mean by threatening me here?"

"You still don't understand what I mean." Xu Cang's expression turned cold: "I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore, cut flights or keep people, choose yourself!"

The manager of the marketing department was furious: "Xu Cang, why do you think the bureau will deal with us for this?"

"Would you like to have a try?" Xu Cang smiled, but the chill in this smile was even worse.

"you"

The marketing manager wanted to say something, but was held back by Luo Yong.Luo Yong squeezed out a stiff smile: "Xu Cang, we won't force those rented out to come back, but if they want to come back, you can't stop them, how about that?"

Xu Cang nodded: "Yes!"

"Okay! Then it's settled, the bureau side."

"If you can fulfill your promise, then Yu Fengtian is solely responsible for this matter." Xu Cang tidied up his clothes and smiled: "It's pretty fast, it's not that bad. Alright, let's go! "...

As he said that, Xu Cang gave Lu Jinghua a wink, signaling to go out and talk together.

But just as he turned around, Xu Cang suddenly remembered something, and said to Luo Yong: "Mr. Luo, when the Tianshan Mountain was preparing to land, the reward that Mr. Wang promised to me has never been fulfilled. Let's get together and get away, you You have to settle it for me."

What Xu Cang said was for Tan Heling's cover-up. The reward Wang Xuan promised at that time should be around [-] yuan.Although mosquitoes are small, they are still meat, but they cannot be given up.

Luo Yong's face was as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly, and he waved his hand: "I know, I know, it will be transferred to your salary card soon."

"Then trouble Boss Luo." Xu Cang laughed, and led Lu Jinghua out of the office.

After the two came out, Xu Cang pouted in the direction of the office: "Is everything settled?"

"It's settled. I've already handed in my resignation. This time, the matter with 9951n is over. I'll go to Erhai Lake with you." Lu Jinghua said with a smile.

Xu Cang was also very happy, Lu Jinghua was a good hand in flight administration.Recently, some people were recruited at the base, and Lu Jinghua happened to go over to take care of it.

"Since you resigned, let them sit, you stand?" Xu Cang dissatisfied: "If you don't go to Erhai Lake, there will be no sofa in your office."

Lu Jinghua laughed, looking very happy: "Are we the ones who care about this? However, 1566 is scrapped, and the wet lease agreement can no longer go on. Will there be any planes in the future? How will the flights fly?"

"It's okay, Muhua Airlines will urgently rent a plane for us, and the delay will be a few days at most, so it's not a big problem." Xu Cang patted Lu Jinghua on the shoulder: "This time I'm going to Erhai Lake, I have to plan hard. "

"If you can do meaningful work, it's nothing to suffer." Lu Jinghua said, "However, do you have a follow-up plan?"

"I just told you that I plan to develop intra-provincial routes in the future."

The two stood shoulder to shoulder, their backs gradually disappearing at the end of the corridor.

When the two of them were completely gone, Luo Yong and the manager of the marketing department slowly walked out of the office.At this moment, the manager of the marketing department was obviously still upset, and said viciously: "You really are an unfamiliar wolf cub. Now that you have some skills, you will bite us back!"

"It's almost enough. Everyone knows what we do to Xu Cang. This is called retribution." Luo Yong still saw it clearly.

"I said Luo Yong, are we going to be threatened by him like this?" The manager of the marketing department said unwillingly: "Can't you make some troubles for him? Don't you guys have a hand? For example, no matter what he does, the follow-up work relationship must be from Let's transfer out here, and let him get stuck, just like before, don't you guys know each other very well?"

The working relationship of carded pilots is generally obtained through the medical files or training record files of carded pilots. One of these two files is related to the pilot's medical certificate, and the other is related to the flight license.

Sometimes, even if the pilot wins the lawsuit with the airline, it does not mean that the pilot can sit back and relax.Even if the lawsuit is won, when the pilot comes to get his file, the airline can deliberately shirk it and find various reasons not to give it.It is common for this to drag on for more than half a year. …

There are even more difficult things to deal with. Some of the documents do not go through the hands of the pilots, but are sent directly to the bureau by the airline. After being reviewed by the bureau, the documents are sent to the pilot's new employer.

There are too many places that can be manipulated on this line, because the airline can delay for a long time just to send the documents to the bureau without the hands of the pilot.Anyway, no matter how much your pilot urges you, I agreed with you in front of me, and turned my back on it.

Even if the final document is sent out, some airlines have connections with the bureau, so it is okay for the bureau to delay the review or send it to the new company.

It's a casual thing to directly destroy the pilot's mentality after this pass.

However, Luo Yong rolled his eyes: "Forget it, you don't want to see who his master is? In other words, Ka Xucang's work relationship is to make us feel uncomfortable."

"Then let's forget about it and let him shit and pee on our heads?"

Luo Yong was a little annoyed: "You know that the Muhua Aviation headquarters has recently posted recruitment information for the Erhai base. Don't you understand what this means?"

The fact that Xu Cang recruited people to Muhua Aviation headquarters has already spread in the civil aviation circles, and everyone marveled that Xu Cang really did all he could to smooth his beard.

As a result, not only did the recruitment information not be withdrawn, it was still posted on the most conspicuous bulletin board on the first floor of Muhua Aviation headquarters, which meant something else.

"The people at Muhua Airlines are probably crazy!"

"As long as you are smart and clear-headed, the group of people in Muhua Airlines are all lunatics who don't understand anything." Luo Yong couldn't bear it and scolded: "It's different now, you still think Xu Cang is the one who can do whatever we want A blue sky pilot?"

After finishing speaking, Luo Yong really didn't want to be with this idiot who couldn't see the situation clearly anymore.Staying with him for one more second will lower your IQ.

However, Luo Yong still sighed infinitely in his heart.How long has it been? The kid who was about to be forced to turn to the ground has now grown into a character that cannot be underestimated. It is really unpredictable.

At this moment, at the gate of the Flying Standards Department of the Civil Aviation Administration of Hanjing, Chen Xiangdong was looking inside.Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder, which startled Chen Xiangdong. When he looked back, it was Lian Lian, the director of the Department of Policy and Regulations.

"I said Chen Xiangdong, you sneaky, what are you thinking about?" Even Zhili took a few glances into the office of the flying bid department, but he didn't see anything unusual.

Chen Xiangdong pushed Lian Zhili's hand away: "You don't care what I see."

"I don't care about you. I just went to your office to check if you were not there. I have something to discuss with you." Lian Zhili said, "Isn't Xu Cang your apprentice?"

"Ah, what's the matter?" Chen Xiangdong became vigilant: "What do you want to say?"

Lian Zhili patted Chen Xiangdong's shoulder with emotion again: "You really have taken in a good apprentice, with strong ability and high awareness."

Chen Xiangdong was stunned, and pushed Lian Zhili's hand away again: "No, what do you mean, why praise my apprentice?"

"It's like this. I would like to recommend Xu Cang for the ICAO flight commissioner this term. However, I don't know other people's opinions. I have to discuss it with you first to find out. If others have the same intention, Then I will propose Xu Cang in the discussion later. If no one else has the same intention, then forget it, and in the end I was the only one to mention Xu Cang, which feels weird.”…

Chen Xiangdong was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed: "Yes, yes, that old mansion, Lao Sheng wants to recommend Xu Cang, and there are many meritorious pilots too, so you recommend Xu Cang."

"Ah, are there really so many?" Lian Zhili obviously didn't believe it.

However, if there are so many people recommending Xu Cang, it is not impossible to be the icing on the cake.

"Is it still possible to lie to you? Wait a moment." With that said, Chen Xiangdong got into the Feibiao Division and yelled inside: "Where is your director?"

One of the staff saw that it was Chen Xiangdong, and immediately said, "Director Wu has gone out, what's the matter with Bureau Chen?"

"Has Muhua Airlines submitted an application for an aircraft lease?"

The staff looked for it: "Not yet."

"That, that, please keep an eye on it for me. If Muhua Airlines submits this application, then let me do it as soon as possible."

"Oh, good Bureau Chen."

After explaining to the staff of the Feibiao Department, Chen Xiangdong impatiently led Lian Zhili to find others to confirm the recommendation of Xu Cang.

The flying standard department is the closest to the aircraft airworthiness certification department, and Chen Xiangdong intends to take Lian Zhili to Sheng Gaoliang.It's just that the two walked a few steps, and before reaching the office of the director of the Aircraft Airworthiness Certification Department, they bumped into Sheng Gaoliang who was in a hurry in the corridor.

"Old Sheng, I happen to have something to do with you." Chen Xiangdong quickly stepped forward to hold Sheng Gaoliang, but Sheng Gaoliang flicked his hand, looking in a hurry.

Chen Xiangdong still had some good eyesight. When he saw Sheng Gaoliang's appearance, his heart skipped a beat immediately: "What happened to Lao Sheng?"

Sheng Gaoliang had a serious and gloomy face, and said in a low voice: "Something really happened, the Concorde crashed in Paris!"

After leaving Blue Sky Airlines contentedly, Xu Cang was very happy that Lu Jinghua could go to Erhai Lake with him later.It is said that if brothers are of one mind, their profits can cut through gold, Xu Cang has a little more confidence.

However, when Xu Cang returned to the airport hotel, he found a foreigner waiting in the lobby on the first floor. As soon as Xu Cang came in, he immediately greeted him. This person was Leo, an executive of Airbus.

Earlier, Li Rongxian called and said that an Airbus executive was planning to return to China after dealing with the engine explosion in Qizhou. Before returning to China, he wanted to meet Xu Cang and express his feelings.

Naturally, Xu Cang was not interested in executives. He was only interested in the return flight of this Airbus chief financial officer, because the airline company, flight number, and aircraft registration number all matched the historical British Air Disaster.

Originally, Xu Cang planned to deal with the Great Britain Air Disaster.As a result, after experiencing flight 9951n, Xu Cang's psychology was shocked to a certain extent, and he thought it was better to forget about it, so he completely forgot about it. Unexpectedly, the executive came here directly.

Leo obviously knew Xu Cang, so he held Xu Cang's hand enthusiastically, and spoke Chinese: "Mr. Xu, being famous is worse than meeting him. I'm Leo, the chief financial officer of Airbus. You introduced me."

"lee? Li Rongxian?"

"Yes, yes, Li Rongxian." Leo enthusiastically pulled Xu Cang to the rest area in the corner of the hall. The two sat opposite each other, and Leo expressed his feelings first: "Mr. Many thanks."…

Xu Cang waved his hand: "It's just a trivial matter, there's no need to come here on purpose."

"Yes, yes, this is not a trivial matter." Leo laughed and said, "This matter may cause accidents if it is discovered one day later. Mr. Xu, we at Airbus will repay our kindness. See if there is anything we can do to help. of."

"If you want to help, you may not be able to deal with British Airways. This is my most urgent need. But, if possible, give me two Airbus 319s." Xu Cang laughed.

Leo was startled for a moment, then saw Xu Cang's expression, and laughed dryly: "Mr. Xu has a great sense of humor."

"Look, I asked me to make a request, and if I did, you just say I have a sense of humor."

Leo looked a little embarrassed: "This request is indeed a bit difficult."

"Forget it." Xu Cang didn't pay much attention to it at first, and since he couldn't meet his real needs, he lost interest.However, suddenly, an idea popped into Xu Cang's mind, and he asked tentatively, "Hey, your Airbus laboratory should also have a test machine for Boeing aircraft, right?"

Leo originally wanted to deny it, but after thinking about it, it seems that there is nothing worth covering up. After all, it is not a secret.It is normal for Boeing and Airbus to "learn" from each other, and it is conceivable that Airbus has Boeing's test aircraft.

"What is Mr. Xu's request?"

"The plane is too expensive, so it's fine if you don't give it to me. Then I'll change it and do a test for you. I'll use the 737-800 test plane."

"Huh?" Leo didn't quite understand Xu Cang's meaning: "Mr. Xu, what kind of test are you going to do?"

Xu Cang said with a smile: "It's the destructive effect of the pressurization system on the fuselage structure when the takeoff rubs against the tail. I want a detailed technical report. This request is not too much."

Leo thought for a while, then nodded: "There should be no problem."

"It's best to keep it a little secret, I don't want to make it known to the world."

"This is natural." Leo readily agreed.

"Okay, then I've finished my request and met face-to-face, so let's go."

Leo stood up quickly, wanting to keep Xu Cang back: "Mr. Xu, let's have a meal together."

"It's fine to eat, it's awkward to eat." Xu Cang just took two steps when he suddenly thought of something, stopped and turned around and said to Leo: "I'll give you a suggestion."

Leo hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu, what's the matter?"

Xu Cang smiled and said, "If you can, go back to China by another route, and don't go on the scheduled flight."

Under Leo's puzzled gaze, Xu Cang waved his hands behind his back and left in a cool and unrestrained manner.In fact, he didn't really want to talk to Leo about this, but he had to deal with Leo's side for the test, so he didn't want Leo to be cold.

However, after his rebirth, many things have changed. Xu Cang himself is not sure whether the Great Britain Air Disaster is still the same as in his memory. Anyway, he has given the information. If Leo has not escaped, it is his fate. up.

When Xu Cang went upstairs, he received a call from Qin Xin, saying that someone from Taining Insurance had gone to look for him, and asked Xu Cang to take care of him.

Xu Cang asked about the matter, but Qin Xin said that it was related to the insurance of the aircraft, and Xu Cang had the full authority to handle it anyway.

Xu Cang didn't know anything about insurance, and wanted to shirk it, but when he arrived at the door of his room, he saw a fat middle-aged man in a suit waiting, so he asked tentatively, "Taining insurance?"

The middle-aged man wore a pair of glasses and looked very honest: "Mr. Xu Cang, I am a salesman of Taining Insurance. Mr. Qin said that we should communicate with you about the aircraft insurance."

"What is Qin Xin doing?" Although he didn't quite understand why Qin Xin pushed the matter of aircraft insurance to himself, Xu Cang didn't immediately refuse, but opened the door and led the insurance salesman in: "Come into the house." say."

Xu Cang went in and changed his shoes, and said casually, "Actually, I don't know much about this, please tell me first, what is the specific content of aircraft insurance."

Aircraft insurance is a type of property insurance, which is basically required for airlines. Xu Cang doesn't know about it, but he has heard of it.

However, the salesman who followed said helplessly, "Mr. Xu, we may not be able to insure your plane."

"Well, what do you mean, didn't you say it well before?" When Erhai base was established, Qin Xin had already started to choose the company to insure the aircraft, and finally chose Taining Insurance, and the two parties even reached a preliminary agreement.

This is a big problem if the plane cannot be insured.

The salesman said with a mournful face, "Mr. Xu, our company has made a total calculation. If we want to agree to the insurance, we have a small request."

Xu Cang took off his coat, hung it on the hanger, and hummed: "Tell me about it."

The salesman hesitated for a while, almost crying: "Mr. Xu, why don't you fly!"
