Chapter 31 Discovery of Problems
In the office of the general manager of the flight department of Blue Sky Airlines, Lu Jinghua dozed off in his seat. The flight didn't land until after 2 a.m. last night, and it was already past 3 a.m. when he went to bed.
Although leaders can enjoy a lot of bonuses most of the time, they also suffer sometimes. After the flight, it was Lu Jinghua's turn today. In the morning, he had to go to the flight preparation room to supervise the crew's pre-flight preparations. In fact, he only rested for two or three hours.
After the morning peak of departures, Lu Jinghua sneaked back to his office to take a nap. But when he was half asleep, he vaguely heard hurried footsteps, and then felt someone patting his shoulder.
Lu Jinghua was slacking off at work, and he was already feeling nervous. When someone slapped him, he almost jumped up as if by reflex.
The people standing next to him were also shocked by Lu Jinghua's reaction, and said with lingering fear: "Boss Lu, you are going to scare me to death."
Lu Jinghua opened his dry eyes and looked around. He saw that the person next to him was his secretary. He breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and scratched his head in annoyance: "You scared me. What's the matter?"
"Boss Lu, we just got a message from Jianchuan that one of Feiyu's planes was hit by a bird and both engines were shut down and forced to land here."
Lu Jinghua stretched himself lazily, not showing any interest at all: "Both engines are out, what kind of bad luck is this? But why are you telling me in such a hurry? It's not our plane that has a problem."
Although he was a little surprised, Lu Jinghua showed his indifference to the matter. No matter how big the troubles of other airlines were, they were not as important as his sleep.
"The plane has nothing to do with us, but the people on it do have something to do with us." A strange look appeared on the secretary's face.
Lu Jinghua raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
"The authorities just called and said that there was another person in the cockpit of the accident flight besides the two crew members of Feather Airlines on duty."
Lu Jinghua suddenly felt something was wrong: "So what?"
"That man is one of ours, a pilot from Boeing's Second Squadron." The secretary took out an employee file and handed it to Lu Jinghua: "That's him!"
Lu Jinghua took the file. The first line of the file had a name on it. When he saw it, a strange expression appeared on his face: "Xu Cang?"
"Mr. Lu, this is Xu Cang who is going to transfer to a ground position." The secretary added.
Lu Jinghua hugged his head, dropped the file, and looked at the secretary very seriously: "Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
"Well... we don't know much information so far. But the bureau hasn't said much so far, so it should n't be a bad thing."
It was almost Lu Jinghua's instinct to evaluate the gains and losses first. Hearing what the secretary said, he nodded in agreement. If Blue Sky Airlines was involved, the authorities would have come to question him long ago. How could they let him doze off at work leisurely?
He thought it was probably just a simple case of being involved in a special situation, and it had nothing to do with his own company. Although he didn't understand why Xu Cang would run into the cockpit of Feiyu Airlines.
Since he hadn't gotten into any trouble, Lu Jinghua felt much more relaxed. He yawned and asked, "It has nothing to do with us. Why did you come to me?"
To be honest, the secretary didn't understand what the bureau meant, and could only say vaguely: "The bureau just asked us to go to the regulatory bureau to get someone out. Originally, President Wang was supposed to go, but President Wang is now discussing the 777 matter with the General Administration, so you have to go."
This Mr. Wang is the chief pilot of Blue Sky Airlines. All matters relating to the authority are handled by the chief pilot first, but since the chief is not here, the general manager of the flight department has to make the trip.
"Rescuing people? If you don't know, you might think I'm going to the police station." Lu Jinghua wiped his face and said, "Forget it, it's the airport's regulatory department, right? Are we going there now?"
"Yes, right now." The secretary added in a low voice: "The chief engineer of Feiyu Airlines is also there. When the time comes, Mr. Lu, you can control it a little."
Lu Jinghua stood up, patted his clothes, and sneered: "It depends on whether Li Chenxing knows what's good for him."
The secretary slapped his forehead, feeling speechless. As the saying goes, competitors are enemies, especially when they are competitors next door to each other. Blue Sky Airlines and Feather Airlines have a high degree of overlap in business, so they naturally hate each other. In addition, Lu Jinghua has always had a bad temper, so he was really worried that something might happen to him at the regulatory bureau.
About 20 minutes later, Lu Jinghua arrived at the airport's regulatory building. The director of the regulatory bureau's aviation safety came out to greet Lu Jinghua and took him to a small conference room. When Lu Jinghua came in, he found Xu Cang was already there. Not only Xu Cang, but also Li Chenxing, the chief engineer of Feiyu Airlines, was there. Behind him sat a captain with four stripes, but the captain looked unhappy. He might be the captain on duty of the flight that had the accident.
Lu Jinghua was unhappy with Li Chenxing, but when did Li Chenxing feel comfortable looking at Lu Jinghua? Ever since Lu Jinghua came in, he had been looking at her with a sour face. Lu Jinghua did not put too much energy into being angry with Li Chenxing. After coming in, he sat next to Xu Cang without saying a word.
"Mr. Lu arrived late, so some things may not be clear to you yet. I will just tell you the basic situation." The bureau's aviation safety director was very amiable. He had a smile on his face when he spoke, which made the originally stiff atmosphere a little more relaxed.
However , this is also because the double engine failure of Feiyu did not cause any casualties and the overall handling was good, so the authority can have such a relaxed attitude. If the plane crashed or someone died, it would be strange for the director of aviation safety to speak calmly.
"Mr. Lu and Mr. Li, there's no need to be so stern. This matter was handled well overall. Everyone should relax." Director Hangan set the tone for the incident with just one sentence.
After hearing this, Lu Jinghua just rolled his eyes, but Li Chenxing, who had been tense, breathed a sigh of relief. With the director of aviation safety saying this, at least at the official level, Feiyu Airlines will not suffer a major loss.
When he came to the Supervision Bureau, the secretary told Lu Jinghua everything he knew. Although he didn't know much about the details, Lu Jinghua could probably tell that Xu Cang was just a helper in this incident and was not involved in much. This made him feel quite relaxed, especially when he saw Li Chenxing's relieved look just now, he showed a sarcastic look on his face.
However, Director Hangan changed the subject, looked at Lu Jinghua and Xu Cang, and said with a chuckle: "In this incident, Xu Cang provided a lot of help, but we found some problems and need to talk to President Lu."
