Chapter 4: Transfer to Ground Post
There is no doubt that Xu Cang messed up the route inspection in a very funny way. He originally planned to show off his skills to the inspector, but ended up making a huge joke.
Although the basic principles of aircraft are the same, there are still significant differences in the control methods of business jets and large aircraft. Xu Cangfei has been flying business jets for too long, and his control habits cannot be changed easily.
In later life, Xu Cang, because of his position as chief pilot, held multiple types of aircraft licenses. Compared to large passenger aircraft, Xu Cang preferred to fly smaller business jets. In addition, the 737 was basically extinct in later generations, so even Xu Cang rarely flew, which led to this big joke.
Once the plane strikes the tail, the pressurization system will operate and the fuselage is likely to suffer unexpected damage. It will definitely not be able to continue flying and can only return and land.
For this reason, the plane that Xu Cang was on turned around after taking off and returned to Jianchuan Airport.
After such a big incident, as soon as they arrived at the port, the entire crew received a call from the flight department, "inviting" them to the office of the general manager of the flight department for tea.
Xu Cang had never been to the office of the general manager of the flight department before. He only knew that the head of the flight department was an instructor of the Airbus fleet and did not get along well with the Boeing fleet.
Of course, given Xu Cang’s previous poor performance, even if the general manager of the flight department came from the Boeing fleet, he would probably still not be able to deal with it.
As the two people sitting in the upper seats, Xu Cang and Wang Qiang went straight into the office. The first co-pilot, who was an observer, was in a slightly better situation, and was pulled away by his own captain for a talk.
However, as if worried that Xu Cang and Wang Qiang would make eye contact with each other, the general manager of the flight department let Xu Cang go in alone first, and Wang Qiang stayed outside for the time being.
With a nervous mood, Xu Cang pushed open the door of the office, and what came into his eyes was a relatively empty office. In the huge room, there was only a monotonous desk, a sofa, and a half-person-high green potted plant.
As soon as he entered the room, Xu Cang was blinded by the light coming through the entire glass curtain wall opposite him. Lu Jinghua, the general manager of the flight department, who was sitting with his back to the glass curtain wall, had a layer of gold rim all over his body, which made him look unreal.
"Did no one really tell him that the light pollution in the office is so serious?" Xu Cang complained in his heart. It took him a while to get used to the light intensity in the office.
However, when he saw Lu Jinghua's extremely gloomy face, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. The seemingly gentle and warm sunlight only made the irritable man in front of him even more angry .
As soon as Xu Cang walked to Lu Jinghua's desk, a trace of disgust flashed across Lu Jinghua's angular face. To be fair, Lu Jinghua's appearance was still quite impressive.
Compared to many pilots who are out of shape, Lu Jinghua does not look greasy. Instead, his hair is combed meticulously and his facial skin is delicate and fair. At first glance, he does not look like a pilot but more like a male model.
"Xu Cang, you really surprised me." Lu Jinghua suddenly smiled, but this smile still looked sinister in Xu Cang's eyes even under the sunshine.
"But it's better this way. I won't have to see you anymore. This is the last time." Lu Jinghua grabbed a piece of paper on the desk and threw it to Xu Cang: "Sign this."
Xu Cang took it and looked up. It was clearly a confirmation letter for transfer. If Xu Cang signed it, it would mean that he would lose his flying qualification and be transferred to a ground position.
Xu Cang would never sign this, so he could only force a smile: "Boss Lu, there is a small problem with this matter."
Afterwards, Xu Cang recalled that he seemed to have discovered some problems. Even if he accidentally drove too hard, it shouldn't have hit the tail of the plane. But the fact was that the result of the maintenance inspection was that the tail of the plane was hit, which made Xu Cang a little confused.
"Small problem?" Lu Jinghua clapped his hands and laughed, then slowly stood up, then grabbed the documents at hand and threw them at Xu Cang, cursing, "Small problem? The maintenance report just came in, the tail skid has been pressed in and disappeared, it is likely to need a major overhaul. You are a useless thing, you haven't created a penny of profit since you came to the company, and the company has to spend money to clean up your mess, how dare you still stand here?"
In fact, what Lu Jinghua said was quite conservative. To be precise, from the trainee to the second co-pilot stage, they cannot create or can only create very little value because they cannot form a complete crew with the captain like the first co-pilot can.
After Xu Cang reported to the company, he did not study, practice, or cooperate, and he is still a trainee without any level. However, even such a worthless trainee can still receive a basic salary of 7,000 yuan from the company every month, which is undoubtedly equivalent to getting free service from Blue Sky Airlines.
Moreover, Xu Cang had caused quite a mess by scratching the tail of the plane this time. The repair cost was an astronomical figure, and Blue Sky Airlines had to pay a large sum of money. It was a great favor for Blue Sky Airlines to allow Xu Cang to transfer to another position. It was estimated that the recruitment office staff who recruited Xu Cang would be punished.
Xu Cang's face flushed red. He couldn't say that I was used to flying business jets and I didn't adjust the control force for a while, right? If he really said that, Lu Jinghua would send him to a mental hospital on the spot.
"Mr. Lu, please give me another chance. I will never give up again." Xu Cang could only beg.
"You also know that you were playing sloppy before. What were you doing before? Did the fleet give you fewer opportunities? Either sign and go to another department so that I can have some peace and quiet, or just get out." Lu Jinghua was so angry that his head hurt, and he wanted to pull Xu Cang's muscles and bones out. He had only been in office for a short time, and Xu Cang had done this. Wasn't this a slap in his face?
Xu Cang stood there, somewhat at a loss. Looking at Lu Jinghua 's gnashing teeth, one could tell how "deeply impressed" his previous performance was.
Suddenly, Lu Jinghua's cell phone on the desk lit up and a message popped up. He picked it up and his face changed immediately . He quickly put away his ferocious expression and replaced it with a flattering smile, as if by magic.
However, after noticing that Xu Cang was still there, he glared at him fiercely and said, "If someone comes in later, just stand aside and don't make any noise."
If there was more time, he would be more willing to let Xu Cang go out.
As if to confirm Lu Jinghua's words, there was a noise coming from outside the door, like the sound of talking, and there were quite a few people.
Lu Jinghua's heart tightened, and he waved his hand to let Xu Cang stand in the corner. Xu Cang guessed that some important person was coming, and ignored Lu Jinghua's bad attitude, and went to the corner, standing there motionless, without making any sound.
