Chapter 10 Bird Strike

It can only be said that it is much more convenient to go through the crew channel. You don’t have to wait in long queues or have to deal with cumbersome safety inspections. In any industry, there are always some benefits for insiders.

Today's Jianchuan Airport terminal has not been expanded. There is only one building and the area is not large. Xu Cang jogged all the way, carrying a bag on his back and carrying another in his hand, which was still a bit laborious.

Xu Cang has not chosen to check it in since he learned that it has become a crew member. If he is a crew member, he can put his luggage in the cabin attendant's cloakroom, get off the plane and take it directly, eliminating the need to wait at the baggage carousel.

It was less than five minutes from the security check to the boarding gate. When Xu Cang arrived, he had already started to check in and board the plane. He was not in a hurry. He put his luggage on the seat and breathed for a long time, sighing in his heart that he had really taken it seriously before.

I neglected to exercise, and jogging for five minutes was a bit too much.

When the passengers were almost boarded, Xu Cang took out the flight attendant boarding pass and hung it around his neck, picked up his luggage, and walked to the boarding gate with the assignment book in hand.

The ground service personnel at the boarding gate looked over the mission statement and the flight crew boarding pass several times before letting Xu Cang in. The main reason was that the flight crew boarding pass clearly stated that Xu Cang belonged to Blue Sky Airlines, so how could he be added to Feiyu Airlines?

of the crew.

However, as long as the name on the certificate matches the name on the assignment letter, there will be no problem.

After passing the boarding gate, they had to be inspected by another bridge security officer in the corridor. When they arrived at the cabin, Xu Cang approached the flight attendant, explained his intention to join the crew, and showed her his ID.

"Wait a moment, let me talk to the cockpit." The flight attendant glanced towards the bridge, made sure there was no one behind, and then leaned half of his body into the cockpit.

Not long after, the flight attendant seemed to have negotiated with the cockpit and took the luggage from Xu Cang's hand: "I'll leave the cloakroom for you, you go in."

Xu Cang thanked the flight attendant, opened the cockpit door and went in, and found the captain and co-pilot chatting. Looking at the layout of the cabin, Xu Cang knew that the aircraft model was a 737, and he didn't pay attention when buying the ticket.

When the two of them saw Xu Cang coming in, they were very enthusiastic, especially the captain who wore glasses and looked gentle.

Civil aviation pilots are not completely prohibited from wearing glasses, as long as they meet the standards. Of course, pilots usually don't touch glasses except when working.

"I heard that you are going to the Consumer Association and the Bureau to complain about our company?" Although he said that, the captain's tone and expression were basically joking, and there was no malicious intent.

"I have an emergency at home and am anxious to get back." Xu Cang scratched his head in embarrassment: "Sorry to bother you."

The captain laughed loudly: "It's okay, we are all traveling together. Is it flying Boeing or Airbus? Will there be an observer's seat in the back?"

"Let me put it down for you." The co-pilot was very enthusiastic and prepared to get up and put the seat down for Xu Cang.

"I fly Boeing, I know how to release it." Xu Cang hurriedly declined the co-pilot's kindness. However, out of politeness, Xu Cang did not release the seat immediately. Usually, the observer has to wait until the door is closed before the seat is released.

, this is a rule.

As soon as Xu Cang finished speaking, the flight attendant opened the door and reported: "Captain, there is one VIP left, he will be here soon."

With that said, he patted Xu Cang's shoulder who was standing in the aisle: "Put your luggage."

Just as Xu Cangang was about to say thank you, he happened to catch a glimpse of an infield car driving towards the apron below the nose of the plane with the Feiyu Airlines logo painted on the body.

"People are here?" Xu Cang said casually.

"Ah?" The flight attendant followed Xu Cang's gaze and leaned further into the cockpit, and saw his company's infield car through the windshield: "Captain, this is a VIP shuttle bus, it should be

Coming over."

After the flight attendant finished speaking, he stopped staying in the cockpit and went out to greet the passengers.

The captain pouted, obviously dissatisfied with the situation of waiting for people, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he caught a glimpse of Xu Cang still standing and pressed his hand towards him: "Here we come, sit down. In the cockpit

There was a bit of a quarrel, please be patient, brother."

"No, no." Xu Cang smiled dryly and put down the observer's seat. The captain of Feiyu Airlines was a little too enthusiastic. He was not used to this way of getting along.

Fortunately, not long after Xu Cang sat down, the flight attendant came over to report that everyone was there. The infield car that drove under the plane was indeed used to pick up and drop off VIPs.

After closing the cabin door, the crew began to enter working mode, especially from launch to cruise, which is a critical stage. It seems that within more than half an hour, the two people in front did not have the energy to chat with Xu Cang anymore.

If it were anyone else, they might be a little curious about the working status of the pilots, but as a fellow traveler, Xu Cang was not interested at all. Even though the observer's seat was not even as comfortable as the bench in the terminal, Xu Cang sat down

Still yawning all the time.

I don’t know if other pilots are in the same situation. They are usually very energetic. As soon as they hear the sound of the engine running, they instinctively start to feel sleepy.

However, Xu Cang still felt that it was not good for him to sleep in the cockpit as a guest. He just tilted his head and stared at the instrument with distracted eyes, his mind filled with immunosuppressants and making money.

The plane launched smoothly without any delays. After the plane launched, Xu Cang secretly sent a message to his father, turned off his cell phone and put it in his pants pocket.

Today's Jianchuan Airport has not yet undergone expansion. Not only does it have only one terminal building, but it also operates on a single runway. The apron area is even narrower. After launching, you can turn directly to the main taxi.

There seemed to be only one flight, Feiyu 6321, on the tower frequency, which was far less busy than the Southwest Airlines hub would be more than ten years later. However, when taxiing to the end of the runway, the tower did not let the plane enter the runway, but ordered: "Feiyu 6321,

Wait a moment at the end of the runway.”

The captain subconsciously looked at the final airspace for a while, but did not find any approaching aircraft. He couldn't help but wonder: "Is there a time limit?"

In fact, they were ten minutes ahead of schedule. Sometimes, the flight was ahead of schedule but might not be able to leave. The controller would ask the plane to wait at the end of the runway until it was almost at the scheduled time.

However, the tower did not confirm the captain's statement, but said: "There is a bird repellent operation on the runway. It is expected to take three minutes."

"Oh." The captain replied casually, and then heard the co-pilot next to him say: "There seem to be frequent bird strikes during this period. The airport has been complained about many times. I guess they are afraid."

Any bird strike incident during the taxiing phase is the responsibility of the airport. Once such incidents occur too many, the airport will be punished.

"The birds have come over for the winter, and it will take another two months to stop." The captain yawned: "Just wait!"
