Chapter 38 First Class Co-pilot Promotion Examination
"You have a billion-dollar contract with Blue Sky Airlines, but it probably hasn't been signed yet. You can put an additional condition in the contract to wet-lease a Blue Sky Airlines plane to Erhai Airport and hire some necessary ground administrative staff to form an office. This is equivalent to a simple airline, and then see the operating results over a period of time." Xu Cang asked cautiously: "Such operating results should be quite referenceable and can greatly reduce risks. What do you think?"
Qin Xin looked at Xu Cang with a smile on her face: "You really have arranged everything for your boss very clearly!"
"Life forces me to do some very important things, and those things are very expensive..." Xu Cang said honestly: "Maybe you think I'm asking for an exorbitant price now, but in a few years, you will know how much benefit this proposal will bring. "
"I can judge these things myself, but the problem is that I don't have much confidence in you." Qin Xin shrugged: "I know you, and your reputation doesn't seem to be very good. How can I trust you?"
Xu Cang was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect that his previous bad behavior would affect Qin Xin's judgment of him. But Qin Xin didn't have any problem. If it were him, he would definitely be suspicious of someone with a bad reputation.
But this has already happened, and Xu Cang was not reborn to join the company, so does that mean this thing is a failure?
"It still doesn't work." Xu Cang sighed inwardly.
The idea of proposing low-cost airlines to Qin Xin was purely a spur-of-the-moment idea of Xu Cang. It can only be said that this sudden idea was too lacking in thoroughness, and it was understandable that it did not achieve the expected results.
However, just when Xu Cang was dejected, Qin Xin suddenly said, "However, the incident of Feiyu Flight 6321 is really impressive. I can give you a chance. Do you want to give it a try?"
Xu Cang's expression immediately became serious and he became alert: "What opportunity?"
"You are still a trainee now. It usually takes two years to go from a trainee to a third-level co-pilot. I want you to complete it within two months. Can you do that?"
"Two months?" Xu Cang quickly calculated in his mind. It takes two hundred hours of experience to go from an apprentice to a third-level co-pilot. Although he had been in a bad state before, he had accumulated more than thirty hours of experience. That is to say, he needs to accumulate one hundred and seventy hours in two months, which is an average of nearly ninety hours a month.
According to the flight time limit regulations of the Civil Aviation Administration, it is basically necessary to fly for two months. Moreover, all the exams from student to first-level co-pilot, first-level co-pilot to second-level, and second-level to third-level must be passed in one go. If any of the exams are not passed, it will take at least 28 days to reschedule.
The problem is, as far as Xu Cang knows, very few co-pilots of Blue Sky Airlines can fly full hours. Most of them only fly about 60 to 70 hours a month. It seems that it is impossible to accumulate 170 hours in two months?
However, this is not something that needs to be thought about right now. Just agree to it first anyway.
"Sure." Xu Cang agreed to Qin Xin's request without hesitation: "As long as I can meet your requirements, will you agree to my plan?"
"Are you kidding?" Qin Xin smiled and straightened her clothes. "That's 10 million, not 1,000 yuan! When you can transfer to a third-level co-pilot within two months, I will consider wet-leasing an aircraft and setting up an office in Erhai. After that, you will also need to prove to me that your operating model is feasible. If you fail to meet any of these two requirements, you will not get the money."
Within two months, he was promoted from a trainee to a third-level co-pilot, and then he tried the Erhai route. None of them could be accomplished easily, but Xu Cang still wanted to give it a try. This was his only chance.
"Okay, it's a deal." Xu Cang accepted the challenge from Qin Xin without hesitation. It is always better to have a chance than no chance, even if the chance seems very slim.
Qin Xin stood up and raised a finger: "You only have one chance. If you fail, there will be no next time."
After saying that, Qin Xin didn't say anything else to Xu Cang, but slowly left the office.
Xu Cang, who stayed in the office, felt heavy in his heart. In the future, he might have to risk his life to achieve Qin Xin's request.
Not long after Qin Xin left, Lu Jinghua came back and asked Xu Cang, "What did you two talk about in there? Why did it take so long?"
"Nothing." Xu Cang thought for a moment and said, "Boss Lu, I want to apply for a transfer now. Will that be okay?"
"Ah? You want to be promoted to first-class co-pilot?" Lu Jinghua said, "Go to the flight certification department. The company has already applied for the cancellation of the letter it sent to the regulatory bureau. Your flying qualifications will not be affected. You can be promoted if you want. However, I remember that the promotion to first-class co-pilot requires a theoretical exam. Don't you need to read the textbooks?"
Xu Cang rubbed his eyes, feeling sore and astringent: "No, if Mr. Lu has nothing to do, I will go to Feibiao first."
Lu Jinghua didn't say much, just nodded: "Go."
Xu Cang realized that he couldn't delay any longer and immediately found Feibiao's technical administrator to apply for the transfer examination. However, Feibiao's technical administrator was extremely surprised to see Xu Cang coming, as if he had seen the sun rising from the west.
In fact, Xu Cang could have applied for a promotion long ago, as long as he was recruited into the airline, received the modification, and completed the off-fleet training. But Xu Cang had no interest in the promotion before, and just dragged on as a trainee.
"I thought you had transferred to a ground position." Xu Cang's reputation was well-known in the flight department, and even the ground administrative staff knew a thing or two about it.
This is not a good reputation. Even though Xu Cang is not very thick-skinned, he still couldn't help blushing: "Something happened, so I stayed with the fleet ."
It was obvious that the technical administrator was unaware of what Xu Cang had done on Feiyu Flight 6321.
The technical administrator did not ask any more questions, but simply looked through the records of the most recent theoretical exams. The theoretical exam for pilots would not be held in a separate exam room for each person, and usually they would wait until there were enough people to take the exam together.
After flipping through the pages for a while, the technical manager finally said, "There is an Airbus theory test in three days. Is this time okay? Will it be too tight?"
"It's okay, just this one, what's the time?"
"Two o'clock in the afternoon, in the theory training classroom next door." The technical administrator confirmed: "If you have no problem, I will record it for you?"
Xu Cang nodded: "Well, remember it!"
