For a moment, there was a buzz of conversation on the approach frequency.
Two crews in succession had to go around, and due to the innate fear of tornadoes, no one was willing to make another approach. They all stayed in the approach area, waiting for the wind to die down.
The only good news is that according to the weather station, in half an hour, although the tornado will not move too far, its intensity will decrease, and its impact on the scene will naturally be reduced. That is the window period for landing.
Not to mention the other crews, even Xu Cang planned to wait patiently for the wind to die down. That was really scary.
Xu Cang is not a masochist. There is no need for him to force himself to land even though he knows the danger. He can afford to wait for half an hour.
It was obvious that the crew members circling and waiting were frightened.
"Talk to the people behind?" Xu Cang asked.
The circling time is still quite long, so it is better to inform the people in the cabin behind to avoid having too many thoughts.
Guan Shan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Okay, tell me."
However, just when Xu Cang was about to press the cabin call bell, a message in English suddenly came out on the approach frequency: "Binjiang approach, Russian Airlines 021, altitude 4,200 meters."
It was indeed English, but the tongue-twisting sound was too strong, obviously from Russia, and the call sign also confirmed Xu Cang's thoughts.
As before, the approach control informed Russian Airlines of the situation and sought the crew's opinion on whether to proceed with the approach. At the same time, it proactively informed the two previous approaching aircraft that they had all gone around.
I don’t know if it was because the signal was bad or the Russian Airlines crew didn’t hear clearly, but after the controller asked, the crew didn’t answer.
After a while, Xu Cang still didn't get a reply from the Aeroflot crew, so he interrupted: "Chunxia 9733, it's time to get to the emergency stop, join the standard right and wait."
"receive!"
But just as Xu Cang finished speaking, a Chinese voice with the same tongue-twisting and accent suddenly came from the frequency: "Xu Cang?"
These two words were said to be in Chinese, but the accent was too heavy, as if his tongue was tied. Xu Cang couldn't distinguish them clearly for a moment, so he didn't answer.
Then, after waiting for a while, Aeroflot finally responded and said to continue the approach.
When Guan Shan heard that the Russian airliner was about to land, he exclaimed that the Russians were truly reckless.
Xu Cang thought that he had been to Shanhang for a period of time, and he was known as the second Maozi, but now he met the real Maozi, and he was really brave. Knowing that there are tigers in the mountain, he went to the tiger mountain.
Xu Cang and his team were circling on the third side. Because the surrounding light was dim, the lights on the plane were more conspicuous.
After the Russian airline indicated that it would continue its approach, Xu Cang even switched the second VHF to the tower to monitor the Russian airline's movements. About ten minutes later, after the tower gave permission to land again, Xu Cang and Guan Shan craned their necks to look down, wanting to see if the Russian airline had landed.
As a result, due to the dense lighting near the airport, Xu Cang's vision was disrupted and he could not see clearly anymore.
But after a short wait, a voice came from the tower frequency: "Aeroflot, turn right and disengage."
Guan Shan almost jumped up: "Fuck, it really fell, so fierce?"
Soon the news of the Russian Airlines landing was fed back, and the planes circling above were all impressed by how fierce the Russians were. As a result, after a round of questioning, no one was willing to approach, including Xu Cang, and they all waited obediently for the wind to subside.
Including the waiting time, it was about forty-five minutes later that Xu Cang finally landed when the wind was slightly lighter.
By the time the plane landed, it was completely dark.
Since it seemed that there was lightning during the first approach, Xu Cang did not leave immediately after landing. Instead, he put on a reflective vest and took a flashlight to the apron to shine the light on the plane to see if there was any lightning strike. The plane still had to fly, so it couldn't take off with a lightning strike.
Of course, the maintenance staff would check it, but Xu Cang felt that he was the one who encountered it, so he should take full responsibility. Anyway, they were not in a hurry, so it didn't matter if they asked the infield car master to wait.
Xu Cang was looking under the nose radar dome, but he hadn't found the lightning strike point yet. Suddenly, he heard footsteps, and then the tongue-tied Chinese voice: "Xu Cang, it was you just now."
"Huh?" Xu Cang was stunned. He turned around and found a bearded Russian man with a beer belly standing next to him.
Although pilots are prone to having a big belly due to their work, this one's belly seems to be too big. It is said that a prime minister's belly can hold a boat, and this one's belly can hold an aircraft carrier.
Xu Cang put down the flashlight: "Who are you?"
"Ivanov! You can just call me Ivan."
"Oh." Xu Cang nodded and pointed to the sky: "Are you the one in the sky just now?"
Ivan nodded and laughed, "Yes, it's me! I thought you would land as well, but I didn't expect you to be so cautious. You are obviously capable, so why don't you land? Why do you have to wait until the wind dies down?"
"Hehe, I can't fall behind." Xu Cang said with a smile.
"Can't land?" Ivan shook his head. "You were able to land at the Jakarta airport during the Jakarta volcanic ash event. Why can't you land in this weather? This is the unique modesty of your country. However, in Russia, true warriors like you should be praised. You were very tough during that landing, which is the style we like."
Xu Cang's mouth twitched. He wanted to say that civil aviation was about safety first, and that was not the place to show off skills. Before, they had encountered a special situation and had no other options. How could a normal flight face up to the challenge?
However, he was well aware of the "good reputation" of Aeroflot, and because of the cultural differences, he couldn't say much.
"You seem to know a lot about the Jakarta volcanic ash incident?" Xu Cang asked doubtfully.
"Haha! I have both the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data. Of course I know them all."
Xu Cang raised his eyebrows. These were not easy to do. Even if his Jakarta volcanic ash incident was used as a case study for other airlines, they would not give out even the cabin sound data and flight data.
Ivan seemed to see through Xu Cang's thoughts: "I am the chief pilot of Russian Airlines, so I am exposed to more things. I think you can understand."
"Chief Designer of Aeroflot?" This time Xu Cang was a little surprised.
Aeroflot is the leading large airline in Russia, and being the chief engineer there is indeed a very high status. Although the Russians are more fierce than each other, in that weather just now, without some skills, it is really impossible to defeat them with just a reckless force.
If it was the chief designer of Aeroflot who came forward, then everything would make sense.
"Excuse me, my dear!"
Xu Cang had just said a polite word when Guan Shan's voice suddenly came from the infield car not far away: "Xu Cang, don't get cold. Let's go! I've told the maintenance staff about the lightning strike point. They will check it carefully. Leave it to them."
Xu Cang waved his hand, indicating that he would be there soon.
"Nice to meet you. I'm leaving now. Goodbye." Although he was a little surprised to see the chief engineer of Aeroflot, it was just a surprise. A chief engineer of Aeroflot was not worth Xu Cang's excessive interest.
Xu Cang put away the flashlight, prepared to take off his reflective vest, nodded to Ivan, and planned to leave.
"Xu Cang, can you continue talking?" Ivan suddenly asked.
Xu Cang had already walked a few steps away at this moment, and turned back to apologize: "Sorry, our captain is rushing me."
However, Ivan laughed and said: "I am not trying to keep you in the capacity of Chief Designer of Aeroflot, but I am asking you to talk in the name of Sukhoi and Yakovlev."
Xu Cang was ready to turn around and leave, but when he heard the two names Ivan mentioned, he was shocked and turned around to look at the Russian bearded man in disbelief: "Sukhoi, Yakovlev? Which two are you talking about?"
Ivan nodded, with a hint of pride in his expression: "Of course, they are the two families you have in mind!"
"What did you say?" Even now, Xu Cang still found it a little unbelievable: "Does Aeroflot have any cooperation with those two companies?"
In Xu Cang's impression, those two companies should be more military-oriented, so how could they be related to Aeroflot? Moreover, one is for practical operation, and the other is for design and manufacturing, which is another barrier. They should not be able to be together.
Ivanov came closer and said, "We are the largest civil aviation company in Russia. If the country wants to develop civil aviation aircraft, it will naturally consult us first. After all, in the foreseeable future, for exports... well, there may be no need to pin hopes on them."
"You want to develop your own civil aircraft, is that true?" Xu Cang tried hard to recall. He didn't have much impression of Russia's self-developed passenger aircraft, so after listening to Ivanov's words, he didn't say much and seemed extremely restrained.
However, Xu Cang could understand what Ivanov meant. Just like when Boeing 777 was being developed, it consulted potential customers and made targeted improvements. As for the export of Russian passenger aircraft, it involves some political factors and is quite complicated. Ivanov was right. In the foreseeable future, even if a domestic large aircraft is developed, it will be mainly self-digested in the early stage. Of course, it is normal to value the opinions of Russian aviation and the close connection between the two.
But in fact, Xu Cang felt that the connection between the two seemed closer, beyond the connection between aircraft design and manufacturing and major customers.
Xu Cang's words made Ivanov laugh even louder. "The international civil aviation passenger aircraft market is worth more than 500 billion US dollars, and it is still growing rapidly. The passenger aircraft industry is like the automobile industry. How many downstream industries can it support? Is there really anyone who would not be jealous? However, Boeing and Airbus occupy more than 70% of the market share, and we have a strong industrial foundation. Why can't we develop our own passenger aircraft and also take a share of the international civil aviation passenger aircraft market?"
Ivanov's words hit the nail on the head. Civil aviation passenger aircraft cannot be judged only by airlines and aircraft design and manufacturing companies. This is a huge industrial cluster, just like the Amazon River. In addition to the main stream, there are countless tributaries like blood vessels that nourish an extremely large area.
Civil aviation aircraft can touch all industries, including design, parts customization, procurement, assembly, transportation, and sales, and they are large-scale and can provide a large number of jobs. For countries that value careers, civil aviation aircraft and automobiles are the most perfect industrial projects.
Some business categories may be very profitable, but they can only benefit a small number of people, such as finance.
Of course, this does not mean that finance is bad. A good financial industry can achieve better, higher-quality, and more efficient resource allocation, and is the lubricant of the entire society. But in many cases, it is just a sickle for a small number of people to harvest a large group of people.
In terms of earning power, industry often cannot catch up with finance, but the focus should not be placed solely on profits, but should have a broader vision.
"Yeah, who wouldn't be jealous?" Xu Cang sighed, but he still didn't say much, just whispered: "If you are here to express the importance of the civil aviation passenger aircraft industry, I understand and I agree."
What Xu Cang meant was that he wanted Ivanov to say something that had practical significance, rather than continuing with empty grand narratives.
Obviously, this rough Russian man was very thoughtful and immediately understood what Xu Cang meant. But just as he was about to speak, Guan Shan's voice came from not far away: "Xu Cang, aren't you leaving? What's the matter?"
Xu Cang raised one hand, turned his head, and looked at Guan Shan.
Guan Shan saw Xu Cang's expression and gestures, then looked at Ivanov beside Xu Cang. His face changed color, and he went back to the carriage without saying anything else.
"Go ahead." Xu Cang said calmly.
Ivanov smiled and said, "Under such circumstances, shouldn't we be natural allies? Moreover, I heard that you are also very interested in developing large aircraft on your own. In addition, you are not only developing passenger aircraft, but also aviation engines, it seems?"
Xu Cang's expression remained unchanged: "You know a lot?"
"Isn't it the last test flight of the Boeing 777 that you participated in? Moreover, it seems that you also have cooperation with Rolls-Royce of the UK. In addition, General Motors and even Lockheed Martin are interested in you. What do you call this, being smooth in dealing with people?" Ivanov said, "You have proved your worth, so you are qualified to talk to us as an individual. This is indeed a coincidence. If we hadn't met today, I would have planned to pay you a special visit later."
"Why are you here instead of the representatives of those two companies?" Xu Cang asked back.
"Shouldn't we start by getting to know each other first, and then move on to a deeper discussion if we agree?"
Xu Cang tightened his clothes. The temperature in Binjiang was indeed a bit cold. It had only been a short while, but Xu Cang couldn't stand it anymore, so he started to speak more and more directly to the point.
“What is the initial understanding?”
Finally getting to the point, Ivanov's expression became more serious. "The initial idea is that Sukhoi will be responsible for regional aircraft with less than 100 seats, while Yakovlev will be responsible for trunk aircraft with more than 100 seats. However, if we develop everything ourselves, the pressure will be too great, so we want to cooperate with you."
"Cooperate with me? Me?" Xu Cang smiled awkwardly: "You still think highly of me."
Ivanov shrugged. "This is a simple business cooperation. Why can't we cooperate with you? Of course, it would be best if you could bring in more friends."
"Haha." Xu Cang laughed and said, "You should contact AVIC directly."
"No, no, no, that would be too high a level and would be easily affected by other factors. I said, I also hope that this is just a simple business cooperation, so I can't do it with AVIC, I can only do it with you."
There was a gleam in Xu Cang's eyes, and he began to understand what Ivanov meant.
"So, what do you mean by 'you' who are cooperating with me?" Since they don't want to cooperate directly with AVIC, there will probably be no company on Ivan's side that is equivalent to AVIC. In this case, what Ivanov said is worth discussing in detail.
Seeing that Xu Cang understood, Ivanov laughed: "I said, this is just a pure business cooperation. Russian Airlines will set up a commercial aircraft design company just for the purpose of business expansion, and then cooperate with a company that your Spring Airlines will set up in the future with the same purpose. Of course, given the good relationship between Russian Airlines and Sukhoi and Yakovlev, and Spring Airlines and AVIC, it is only natural for the joint company to accept appropriate help from Sukhoi, Yakovlev, and AVIC."
Having said that, things are very clear.
Ivanov said before that in order to eliminate the influence of certain other factors, indirect cooperation would be adopted, and cooperation would be carried out using Spring Airlines and Russian Airlines as bridges.
"You guys are really beating around the bush. It's totally inconsistent with my impression of you." Xu Cang sighed.
Ivanov: "When certain factors are involved, things tend to get complicated, don't they?"
"But according to what you said, aircraft with less than 100 seats are also within the target, but we already have similar models. Isn't this stealing our jobs?"
"You mean the ARJ21?" Ivanov laughed. "It doesn't matter if you don't have a regional jet of that level. The market feedback is not good. Why not develop a regional jet from scratch?"
Xu Cang smiled brightly: "But no matter what, we have it and you don't."
After hearing this, Xu Cang really remembered some news. Before his rebirth, Xu Cang seemed to have read some news about Russia's self-developed passenger aircraft.
The Sukhoi Ivanov mentioned was actually Sukhoi Civil Aviation, one of the divisions of Sukhoi. In the end, they actually made an aircraft, the SSJ-100, a regional airliner with less than 100 seats. Yakovlev's work was the MC-21, a mainline airliner with more than 100 seats.
However, before Xu Cang was reborn, these two aircraft had not been used commercially on a large scale, and it was no exaggeration to say that they had a rough fate. This shows that without external help, it is obviously beyond the ability of the country to develop passenger aircraft solely by relying on its own strength.
In this way, Xu Cang knew the other party's trump card. In terms of demand, Ivanov had no advantage, so it would be easier to get more things in the transaction.
In fact, Xu Cang had no interest in cooperating with Russia. After all, the SSJ-100 and MC-21 passenger aircraft were really a bit lame. Of course, the poor performance of these two aircraft was not entirely commercial, but there were other factors.
But at the very least, neither of these two aircraft should be worth learning from.
Xu Cang has a very clear plan for the road of self-developed aircraft, and cooperation with Russia is not a must. However, Russia's three-rotor technology is one of the few that Xu Cang is interested in. It must be said that Russia still has a solid foundation in many fields, but it is often limited by poor finances and eventually has to be abandoned.
Under ideal conditions, Xu Cang wanted Russia's three-rotor technology, and he was not interested in anything else. What kind of material, that's really not good. Xu Cang still remembers the example of the stainless steel fighter.
Of course, the example of the stainless steel fighter is actually biased, and the reasons are complicated, but it can definitely explain some problems.
"So what do you want to do?" Ivanov asked.
Xu Cang thought for a moment and said, "Stop developing regional aircraft with less than 100 seats, and at the same time, Russian Airlines will choose ARJ21 for regional aircraft. We can cooperate on trunk aircraft with more than 100 seats, and we will discuss the details later."
Ivanov was so angry that he laughed: "Are you crazy? If we need a regional jet, why not choose ERJ145? Isn't it better than ARJ21?"
The ERJ145 is a twin-engine, 50-seat turbofan airliner launched by Embraer, and it has a very good price-performance ratio. At least in the regional airliner market, Embraer is quite competitive and is also a direct competitor of the ARJ21.
Let alone exporting ARJ21, it is not popular in China.
The reasons for this are quite complicated. On the one hand, the ARJ21 is indeed inferior to the products of Embraer in terms of performance. However, this problem can be made up through technological innovation. In addition, the foreign market has a fixed impression of domestic passenger aircraft, which needs to be broken.
"Cooperation requires sincerity." Xu Cang finally spoke out: "To be honest, I have no interest in cooperating with you. Apart from your three-rotor technology, I have no confidence in other technologies. Moreover, I don't know how much of your three-rotor technology inherited from the former Soviet Union is left. In addition, you also know that I am cooperating with Rolls-Royce, so you can probably guess why."
Ivanov narrowed his eyes: "For Rolls-Royce's three-rotor technology?"
"Of course! Rolls-Royce's three-rotor technology is still quite reliable, at least for now. So, even if it is three-rotor technology, you can only use it as a backup to prevent accidents. The basis of cooperation is mutual benefit, and in this cooperation, I don't see any direct benefits for the time being."
Ivanov whispered, "Aren't you also working on the research and development of aircraft engines? Apart from anything else, our aircraft engine technology can be of great help to you, right?"
"First, I admit that your engine technology is very strong, but I don't think you will share the core technology of the engine. Second, I don't need your help. I have found a clear path. As long as we follow the path, it may be more difficult, but we can get the same result." Xu Cang saw that Ivanov could not come up with anything worth considering, and suddenly felt even more bored: "Okay, maybe you haven't figured out how to talk, let's talk when you figure it out."
After Xu Cang finished speaking, he looked at the front landing gear strut. Some ice debris could already be seen on it. There was no precipitation during the approach and landing, but there was some slippery snow on the taxiway, which splashed on the front landing gear strut to form such obvious ice debris. The speed was really fast.
Of course, these ice fragments would not cause any impact. But considering that the crew that ran off the runway encountered heavy snow that day, it is not impossible that a large amount of snow quickly accumulated on the front landing gear struts.
This is really outrageous. In the future, we will have to issue a technical bulletin specifically for cold weather.
Taking his eyes off the front landing gear strut, Xu Cang nodded slightly towards Ivanov, and it seemed that he was about to leave.
Ivanov looked at Xu Cang's back as he walked away, not knowing what to say. He really didn't expect the conversation to turn out like this. He should be in an advantageous position, but why did he feel like he was being manipulated by Xu Cang?
When Xu Cang was about to get on the car, Ivanov suddenly shouted at Xu Cang: "Do you really think one person can do everything?"
Xu Cang's steps paused slightly, but he did not stop, but got into the car directly. After that, he closed the door and drove away.
Ivanov was somewhat helpless and said to himself: "How could this happen?"
…
At seven o'clock in the evening, the city of Jianchuan was already brightly lit. In the private room of the top-floor restaurant of the tallest building in Jianchuan, representatives of the 23 airlines operating at Jianchuan Airport gathered together, including Muhua Airlines Jianchuan Base, Blue Sky Airlines, Feiyu Airlines, Rongcheng Airlines, Guoda Airlines Jianchuan Branch, Tiandong Airlines Jianchuan Branch, and the only local airline Jianchuan Airlines.
There were two tables in the spacious private room. Representatives from seven major airlines sat at one table, and representatives from other smaller airlines sat at another table. The hierarchy was extremely clear.
Although there were many delicacies on the table, the more than 20 airline representatives hardly touched their food. Their faces were extremely serious, so that the atmosphere in the venue seemed rather depressing.
Suddenly, the CEO of Tiandong Airlines Jianchuan Branch threw his chopsticks onto the table with a loud noise, his face full of displeasure: "Eating is like going to a grave, it's really unlucky. If you don't want to eat, don't serve the food, it's a waste."
"It's almost like visiting a grave now, Mr. Zeng, isn't that the truth?" Chen Siyu, chief pilot of Muhua Aviation Jianchuan Base, said with a sinister smile.
Mr. Zeng from Tiandong Airlines Jianchuan Branch pointed in Luo Yong's direction and said, "Luo Yong, did you ask me to come here just to listen to your weird words? I can't eat this meal in peace. If you have something to say, just say it now and leave."
That's right, this gathering of representatives from 23 airlines was organized by Luo Yong, vice president of operations at Blue Sky Airlines. However, Luo Yong's influence was obviously not that great, so even if he organized it, it was barely enough, and he couldn't control the situation at all.
"Please don't be angry, Mr. Zeng. Mr. Chen is quick to speak, but this is the fact, isn't it?"
"Oh!" This made Mr. Zeng laugh: "What's the truth? Tell me, let me have some fun."
"Tsk!" Chen Siyu clicked his tongue. "Boss Zeng, you're not good for pretending to be confused. So your branch doesn't operate at Jianchuan Airport, right? Now that the priority of Jianchuan Airport has been given away, we have to look after Spring Airlines in the future. What the hell is Spring Airlines? It's just a low-end, low-end thing. Even so, we still have to look after them. Is this fair?"
"Chief Engineer Chen is right." A representative of an airline at another table took over the conversation: "Among the 23 airlines here, which one is smaller than Spring Airlines? From ancient times to the present, the smaller ones always obey the larger ones. How can the other way around be true?"
"Yes, that's the truth. Why should we listen to a newcomer who has only been established for less than a year?"
This statement attracted many people to echo it. It seems that many airlines have opinions about Spring Airlines controlling the priority of Jianchuan Airport.
Chen Siyu looked around and saw that Li Chenxing, the chief pilot of Feiyu Airlines, was drinking water silently without saying anything. He immediately became unhappy: "Chief Pilot Li, I heard that Xu Cang blackmailed you, Feiyu. Aren't you angry ?"
Li Chenxing quickly put down the water cup: "No, no. It was our crew that made an operating error and injured Xu Cang. It's normal compensation, not blackmail, not blackmail."
Hearing Li Chenxing's eagerness to excuse Xu Cang, Chen Siyu's face darkened. He winked at Luo Yong, who immediately understood and continued, "Everyone, I called you here to discuss the priority of Jianchuan Airport. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but it was because of this Jianchuan priority that our company encountered a difficult problem not long ago. The international route that was only one step away was stuck , which caused a lot of trouble. How could this happen in the past? It happened to our company today, and you may have to bear it in the future."
"It's outrageous. Spring Airlines is just a latecomer, but it dares to block the routes of its predecessors. It's really outrageous." An airline representative said indignantly: "Hey, Mr. Shen, aren't you a local airline in Jianchuan? How come you don't have any say at all? You have to discipline Spring Airlines. Isn't it almost lawless?"
Mr. Shen, the general manager of Jianchuan Airlines, is a middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s, half bald, short in stature, sitting in the crowd and not very noticeable. Now that he was named, he said cautiously: "Although our company is named Jianchuan, the major shareholder is not the Jianchuan government, but..."
"We hold Jianchuan Airlines." At this time, the general manager of Jianchuan Branch of Guoda Airlines looked around and said, "Why, you are all so unhappy with each other, and finally let our subsidiary of Guoda take the lead? It is said that when the sky falls, the taller one will hold it up. The companies with the largest share in Jianchuan Airport are Jianchuan Branch of Tiandong Airlines, Jianchuan Base of Muhua, Blue Sky Airlines, and Feiyu Airlines. For the time being, our Jianchuan Branch and Jianchuan Airlines, when it comes to doing things, it is not our turn. Right, President Zeng?"
Mr. Zeng of Tiandong Airlines Jianchuan Branch sat calmly, and responded to the call of the CEO of Guoda Airlines Jianchuan Branch with just two words: "Boring!"
"Hehe!" The CEO of Jianchuan Branch of Guoda Airlines was not annoyed. Instead he looked at Chen Siyu, the chief engineer of Jianchuan Base of Muhua Airlines: "Okay! Your Jianchuan Base originally had the opportunity to be promoted to a branch, but the quota was taken away by Spring Airlines. Naturally, there are many hatreds and grievances. It's just right for you to lead. Our group of people is quite loud, but unfortunately we are not united. Chief Engineer Chen, please give us a reason. If it can be done, we will discuss it. If it can't be done, we will disband. Let's not discuss this topic in the future. It's better to be over with it once and for all."
At this time, Luo Yong spoke up: "It was unexpected that the General Administration gave priority to Xu Cang at Jianchuan Airport. Why don't you all unite and appeal to the General Administration and request..."
"Don't bother with the petition." The representative of Rongcheng Airlines raised his hand. "Although we have routes at Jianchuan Airport, our main base is at Rongfu Airport. We will not interfere in the affairs of Jianchuan Airport. Besides, we have a cooperation with Xu Cang, so we can't do this."
"You still have cooperation? Previously, Xu Cang forced you to revoke Li Yutian's title of meritorious pilot. Can you pretend that such a shameful thing never happened? You are really something to cooperate with your enemy." An airline representative said sarcastically.
However, the representative of Chengdu Airlines was as thick-skinned as the corner of a city wall, with no change in expression at all. He even laughed: "This is a different time, and we are all adults. What's the big deal about acting on impulse? If you can only get angry randomly, you'd better not stay in this circle."
Some airline representatives with clear minds also raised questions: "Mr. Luo, I don't know why the General Administration allowed Spring Airlines to become the owner of Jianchuan Airport. But now that the document has been issued, it doesn't seem right for us to publicly question the decision of the General Administration, right?"
After hearing this, representatives of some smaller airlines began to murmur among themselves. If the General Administration held a grudge against them for this, it would be no joke .
"Turns out they are just a bunch of indecisive rabble. Tsk tsk tsk, I think we should just forget about this matter, lest it becomes a laughing stock." The representatives of a group of small airlines in front of him began to waver. The president of Jianchuan branch of Guoda Airlines suddenly felt ridiculous. What could he do with this bunch of people? He might as well go home and sleep.
Just as the CEO of Jianchuan Branch of Guoda Airlines stood up, Chen Siyu suddenly snapped his fingers and said, "It's natural for everyone to have doubts about openly opposing the General Administration. So, I have a plan that can both cut off the roots of Spring Airlines and prevent the General Administration from finding any problems."
"Oh? Chief Engineer Chen has another good idea?" The CEO of Jianchuan Branch of Guoda Aviation Company became interested and said, "Tell me about it."
Chen Siyu smiled and shouted to the door, "Come in."
As the voice fell, a middle-aged man of medium height and wearing glasses walked into the private room.
Chen Siyu clapped his hands: "Introduce yourself."
The middle-aged man seemed a little nervous in front of the airline representatives. Under Chen Siyu's instructions, he said nervously, "I am a planner in the planning office of Spring Airlines."
Mr. Zeng from Tiandong Airlines Jianchuan Branch raised his eyelids and said, "Chief Engineer Chen, why did you ask a planner to come here?"
"Everyone, please listen." Chen Siyu raised his chin and said, "Please repeat what you told me before to the representatives. The captain, the instructor, and the authorized representative."
The middle-aged planner nodded: "Currently, Spring Airlines has a total of 42 solo captains and 11 instructors, including seven Class A instructors, two Class B instructors, one Class C instructor, and no representative appointed by the bureau... "
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
"What? Spring Airlines doesn't even have a representative appointed by the authority?"
"There are only three B and C teachers combined. This..."
"The technical level of the appointed representative of the Bureau must be at least that of a Class B instructor, and those two Class B instructors were just promoted, which is far from the level of the appointed representative of the Bureau." Chen Siyu said with a smile.
"Yes. In the entire Spring Airlines, only Instructor Mo Shangyun is the closest to being appointed as the authority-appointed representative. However, it will take some time to go through the process. And another instructor named Shi Qi was originally an authority-appointed representative of Airbus. After changing the aircraft model, he still needs to accumulate experience and cannot recover in a short time." The middle-aged planner added.
Li Chenxing was stunned for a moment: "Does that mean that in the short term, Spring Airlines will not have any representatives appointed by the authority?"
The middle-aged planner nodded: "That's what I mean."
"This..." Li Chenxing looked at Chen Siyu, who was smiling: "Isn't Spring Airlines a lamb to be slaughtered? Chief Engineer Chen, you..."
"Chief Engineer Li, haven't you figured it out?" Chen Siyu said with a smile, "Without the authority's appointed representative in charge, during the captain's investigation, the authority's appointed representatives of our companies can kill their captains however they want. I want to see if Spring Airlines can handle it!"
