Chapter 45: The flight that can't return
It's not that Xu Cang didn't understand the implication in Zhou Xinyu's words. No, it can't be said to be a hint, it can almost be said to be an explicit statement. It's just that Xu Cang has never heard of operations such as shift change requiring some exchange of interests, whether now or in the next twenty years of flying career.
We were all pilots, working under the same company roof, so we had to save some face. But Zhou Xinyu didn't seem to understand this, which was so real that Xu Cang was shocked.
Xu Cang really didn't want to compromise with someone like Zhou Xinyu, but he had to compromise in the face of reality. He was silent for a long time, adjusting his emotions, and then asked in a relatively calm mood: "I don't know the rules here, I wonder if Brother Zhou can give me some advice."
Zhou Xinyu was delighted when he heard Xu Cang say this. He had not planned to fly next week's flight. According to past practice, he would definitely give it to someone else for free. But he did not expect to meet Xu Cang, a guy who knew nothing but needed a flight urgently, so he tentatively revealed some of his thoughts. As a result, Xu Cang was really willing to take over for a fee, and even Zhou Xinyu himself could not believe it.
Zhou Xinyu really thought Xu Cang was a newbie who knew nothing, and was secretly delighted that he had won the game. Not only did he get rid of the class, but he could also make a small profit.
"Well, it's just two hundred, not much. The flight I gave you is definitely a good one. If you fly, it shouldn't be a problem to make six or seven hundred from the hourly fee plus the landing fee. So, you still made four or five hundred, right?"
Xu Cang was about to curse while holding the phone. If it wasn't for the situation, would he have suffered such a loss? However, Xu Cang still managed to hold back his anger, and his voice didn't change much: "Sure, Brother Zhou, send me a card number and I'll call you."
"I'll text you later." Zhou Xinyu couldn't hide his joy in his tone: "Once you've transferred the money, call the dispatcher and tell them that I agree."
"Okay, thank you Brother Zhou." Xu Cangli also thanked Zhou Xinyu.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xinyu's face was full of excitement as if he had gotten a small advantage, but he was still muttering, "You really don't understand anything, and you still thank me? Tsk tsk tsk, are all the students nowadays like this?"
On the other end of the phone, after Xu Cang put down the phone, the smile on his face gradually faded, and finally turned into a weak sigh. As the lowest level of the technical level, anyone can really control him, and he has no room for resistance, and is constrained everywhere.
However, Xu Cang was not too depressed. After a few sighs, he calmed down. A real man can bend and stretch. His mother's illness is the most important thing. It's nothing for him to be angry about it.
Just when Xu Cang wanted to continue the call, a text message suddenly popped up on his phone. It was the bank card number sent by Zhou Xinyu.
"Is it so urgent?" Xu Cang was speechless. He just replied with three words "received" and ignored it for the time being and continued to make a call.
Disappointingly, the remaining few people said they had no intention of skipping flights. Recently, the number of flights has dropped sharply, and the landlords have no surplus food. Those who often skip flights can only hold their noses and fly flights for the time being.
After one round of fighting, only one flight from Jianchuan to Yingli was obtained. However, Zhou Xinyu was right about one thing. The Jianchuan-Yingli flight was indeed quite empty. The two sections of the flight took seven and a half hours, which was basically full. Although there was a slight difference from my expectation, it was not too big and was barely acceptable . It was just that Xu Cang was still a little upset when he encountered such a weird thing as paying for a flight.
Of course, Xu Cang is not the kind of person who cares about everything. After being unhappy for a while, he will feel relieved. It is not a big deal anyway. Just think of it as accidentally eating a fly.
Without thinking too much, Xu Cang went out and found a place to transfer the money. Fortunately, two hundred was a little painful for Xu Cang, but it was not enough to break his bones. If it was more, Xu Cang would be in trouble, after all, he didn't have much living expenses left for himself.
After paying the money, Xu Cang called the dispatcher directly, who quickly transferred Zhou Xinyu's Jianchuan-Yingli shift to Xu Cang's. After waiting for about half an hour, Xu Cang received a text message about the flight change. He checked his mailbox and found that he had received an email about the new schedule, which meant that the shift change had been completed.
"Finally, I have gained something." Xu Cang returned to his residence, still thinking in his mind: "I should find an opportunity to ask the bureau how long the punishment on the company will last. Otherwise, the experience time gained is too unstable."
There are very few pilots . If the overall environment is not good, even some lazy pilots will tend to fly their own flights instead of skipping flights. He can't guarantee that he will continue to receive flights in the future.
Only when the company's flights return to normal, Xu Cang will not only get more shifts, but also be able to take over more easily. But generally speaking, the punishment of the authorities on airlines will last at least a quarter. If this is the case, he will be in big trouble.
…
The next morning, Xu Cang got up early and took the bus to the company. Since he didn't need to take the test this time, he didn't wear the pilot's uniform, but only a plaid shirt. This was a good thing, otherwise it would always feel a bit strange to wear a pilot's uniform on the bus.
Xu Cang had said before that he would go to the dispatch room to help in his free time, and this was not just a casual remark.
After arriving at the company, Xu Cang went to the cafeteria to eat first, and then went directly to the dispatch room in the administrative building. However, before he reached the dispatch room, he could hear a roar coming from the direction of the dispatch room from afar. After careful identification, it seemed to be Lu Jinghua's voice.
Xu Cang was far away and couldn't hear what Lu Jinghua was saying. When he got closer, he found that the door of the dispatch room was still open, so he took a look inside. He saw that there was no one sitting in the dispatch room. A group of dispatchers were standing at their respective workstations, with their heads down, as if they had made a huge mistake.
Xu Cang did not mishear the voice, as he could see Lu Jinghua's back at the door of the dispatch room. He saw Lu Jinghua with one hand on his waist and the other hand pointing at a group of dispatchers and yelling, "There have been many thunderstorms in various places recently, and I have repeatedly told you to pay attention to the crew's duty period. Well, you all turned a deaf ear to it. Now the plane is parked at Lushui Airport, and there is no team to fly the plane back. What do you think we should do?"
The answer to Lu Jinghua was a dead silence, which made the already angry Lu Jinghua even more irritated. He raised his voice again: "One office can't monitor a second officer's duty period. What's the use of you? I just want to know, what about the plane at Lushui Airport?"
