In the office of the general manager of the flight department of Blue Sky Airlines, Lu Jinghua lay down in his chair, still playing with the business card given by Li Rongcheng in his hand, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

Not only that, before, Lu Jinghua's cell phone was always on vibrate mode. But now, he has set it to ring mode, and the ring volume is set to the maximum, for fear that he might not hear a call coming in.

Although Li Rongcheng said that even if there was a vacancy, he would have to wait at least two months before contacting him, but Lu Jinghua was very concerned about this. What if things changed and he was notified in advance?

While Lu Jinghua was still dreaming, a person hurriedly walked in through the open office door. Lu Jinghua took a closer look, and it was Luo Yong, the vice president of operations.

Lu Jinghua quickly put away his business card and stood up: "Mr. Luo, what's the matter? It looks like something is urgent?"

"It's something urgent." Luo Yong didn't notice anyone else. He pulled up a chair and sat across from Lu Jinghua. He got straight to the point: "There's nothing important tomorrow, right?"

Lu Jinghua was startled: "Ah? I want to take a look at this. It doesn't seem to be there."

"No need to read it, reject it if you have it." Luo Yong knocked on the table, with a solemn expression on his face: "Some time ago, Wang Xuan went to the bureau for a visit. It seems that nothing has been settled about 777. Let's

You need to change your mind."

Lu Jinghua wasn't very concerned about this matter, so he just responded casually: "Isn't it because the bureau thinks we have no experience in operating international routes? We are not a state-owned enterprise, so the standards must be stricter."

"That's what you say, but if the bureau doesn't approve routes for us, how can we accumulate operational experience?" Luo Yong got angry when talking about this.

However, in the civil aviation circle, you have to look at the attitude of your superiors. You can only do what the superiors tell you to do. If it doesn't work, it just doesn't work. Don't think about anything else.

Lu Jinghua pouted: "Yes, there is nothing we can do about it."

Compared to expanding international routes and introducing the 777, Lu Jinghua is more concerned about Li Rongcheng's commitment.

"I thought there was nothing we could do before, but now I have an idea to tell you, please listen to it." Luo Yong suddenly said mysteriously: "I feel this is an excellent way for us to break through the restrictions of the situation.

.”

"Really?" Lu Jinghua said he was noncommittal about this.

Lu Jinghua has never been very optimistic about Luo Yong's intelligence. The bottleneck the company faces now comes from the bureau, which is not easy to clear. Otherwise, there will be so many heads in the flight department, marketing department and strategy department that they can't come up with a solution?

Maybe this method exists, but it probably didn't come from Rayong.

Seeing the disbelieving expression on Lu Jinghua's face, Luo Yong clicked his tongue: "Don't believe me, I'll explain it to you. We can't pass the bureau's test now, so why don't we just bypass the bureau for the time being?"

"Are you talking about bypassing the bureau, Mr. Luo?" Lu Jinghua looked at Luo Yong in disbelief: "You are not kidding, we can bypass the bureau, how?"

Luo Yong said excitedly: "Although the bureau did not approve our application for international routes, it only denied our right to operate international routes independently. Since we cannot become the main body, then we can just rely on another company that has the right to operate international routes.

?”

After all, Lu Jinghua was also the general manager of the flight department. He immediately understood what Luo Yong was thinking and asked tentatively: "Mr. Luo, are you talking about joint operations with other companies?"

Luo Yong stretched out a finger and corrected the ambiguity in Lu Jinghua's words: "To be precise, it's just a joint operation of a single route."

Lu Jinghua was stunned on the spot. He thought about it for a long time and discovered that this was a feasible solution. Some small airlines started out due to lack of experience on certain routes, or directly paid a sum of money to take the initiative to learn from large companies.

Or request to jointly operate relevant routes with large companies to learn from experience.

The bureau will generally not be involved in such exchanges between airlines, because from a macro perspective, it will also improve the level of the entire domestic airlines. Moreover, the bureau’s approval of joint operation rights is not very strict.

.Because even if there is a joint operation right, the main entity is the airline that is dependent on the route ownership.

Even if the airline that owns this route later withdraws, the jointly operated airline cannot directly inherit it and still needs to apply separately again.

To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the authority, joint operations are a means of communication between airlines. As for other purposes, don’t think too much about it. But now, what Blue Sky Airlines lacks is experience.

Although it cannot be said that the FAA's refusal to accept Blue Sky Airlines' application is simply due to the lack of experience in operating international routes, at least Luo Yong's plan is moving in the direction of a solution and is feasible.

Luo Yong really proposed a practical and logical plan, which Lu Jinghua really couldn't accept.

Facing Lu Jinghua's incredulous expression, Luo Yong showed a very unhappy expression: "You seem surprised?"

"No, no!" Lu Jinghua shook his head like a rattle and quickly denied: "Mr. Luo, I am just thinking about which airline I should cooperate with for joint operation. The three major airlines seem to be able to do it. However, they are not necessarily too lazy.

Take us to play!"

Although it is a bit heartbreaking, the situation is like this. The three major aviation companies have great undertakings, why should they share their operational experience in vain, and why should they take your little one to play with them?

It’s hard to say that if you find the headquarters of the three major airlines now, you may not be able to meet the senior leaders.

Just like the international route operating rights that Blue Sky Airlines dreams of now, the three major airlines have had it since their establishment, and there has never been a situation where they couldn't get it. And this is the difference.

Luo Yong didn't scold Lu Jinghua for saying discouraging words, because this was the fact and they all knew it in their hearts.

"So I came over to you quickly. We have a very good opportunity now. You have to seize it." After saying that, Luo Yong grabbed Lu Jinghua's hand: "Only you can do this."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, Mr. Luo." Lu Jinghua quickly took out his hand: "Mr. Luo, please tell me what it is first. What if I can't do it?"

Luo Yong waved his hand: "Who else would you be?"

Lu Jinghua suddenly felt bad, but he remained awake despite Luo Yong's compliments: "Mr. Luo, first tell me what you want me to do?"

"That's it." Luo Yong put his hands on the table and stood up suddenly, with excitement on his face: "I just heard the news that Mr. Ma from the Muhua Aviation Strategy Department is in Jianchuan now, and I got his schedule for tomorrow.

, your task is to intercept him tomorrow, and then use any means to convince him to agree to jointly operate an international route with us."

"Mr. Ma?" Lu Jinghua suddenly remembered that when he went to find Li Rongcheng earlier, there was an extraordinary middle-aged man beside him, and he heard from his friends that that person seemed to be from Muhua Airlines. Could it be that that person was

What is Mr. Ma that Luo Yong is talking about?

In Muhua Airlines, the strategy department is indeed a key department. As long as it is responsible for formulating the company's main development direction, it still has the power to approve the joint operation case of a single route.

However, there is also a problem here.

"Mr. Luo, what exactly do you mean by whatever means you use?" Lu Jinghua asked sincerely.

Luo Yong's upper lip and lower lip can be done with just one click. The specific operation is all done by Lu Jinghua alone, so this leader is very good.

However, Lu Jinghua still didn't expect Luo Yong's shamelessness. Luo Yong spread his hands and said, "It depends on you to act on the spot."

Lu Jinghua was immediately dumbfounded and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Luo, I'm afraid my level is not enough for such a big matter, right? How about Mr. Luo, you come forward and I will accompany you?"

Luo Yong's face suddenly stiffened: "Jinghua, I don't mean to make things difficult for you. Let me tell you everything! Mr. Ma and I are from the first year of the aviation school. We still know each other, but our relationship is not that harmonious. Although I

Now I am the company's vice president of operations. I am nominally higher than him, but in fact I am not inferior at all. I know this. If I were asked to come forward and not talk about it, I would definitely be punished.

Being ridiculed is worse than death."

Lu Jinghua looked at Luo Yong's gnashing of teeth and wished he had been humiliated. If he met Mr. Ma, he might as well die on the spot to save his reputation.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lu Jinghua didn't bother to care whether Luo Yong was making it up. His boss had already talked about the shame of life. It would be disrespectful for him to object again, but he had a question: "Mr. Luo, I

Remember, Muhua Airlines uses 747s on many international routes, so we don’t need 777s anymore?”

"I thought about it. The verification of the 777's ETOPS (Twin Engine Extended Range Flight) has never been completed. Although Boeing has been saying that it can definitely be done, what if it happens?" Luo Yong slowly narrowed his eyes, like a cunning...

Fox: "You can't hang yourself from a tree, or is it because the bureau received news that there was a problem with 777's ETOPS verification, so that's why it keeps disagreeing?"

"That's not true! The verification of 777 ETOPS is guaranteed by Boeing. How can this cause problems?" No matter how he thought about it, Lu Jinghua didn't think it was as evil as Luo Yong said. However, the 777 was indeed stuck on ETOPS for a long time.

It is normal for people to have daydreams.

If the 777 cannot pass the ETOPS verification, then the aircraft will not be able to carry out long-distance transoceanic flights. Wouldn’t it be half useless?

Just as Lu Jinghua was thinking, a young man suddenly burst in from the door, hurriedly and in a panic.

Lu Jinghua took a look, wasn't that Huang Zixin, Luo Yong's secretary?

"Xiao Huang, what are you doing? Is the sky falling?" Despite his young age, Huang Zixin is very steady in his work and rarely has such a panic moment.

"Huh?" When Lu Jinghua looked at the door and called his secretary's name, Luo Yong looked back curiously. He was really his secretary: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Mr. Luo, Mr. Lu, something really happened!" Huang Zixin took a breath before saying, "Our company's flight 9211 had a problem in Urumqi."

In the cockpit of Lantian Flight 9211, the captain finally followed Xu Cang's advice. Regardless of whether the plane was descending or not, he pulled the stick back gently and consistently to avoid rough and sudden movements.

Xu Cang is right about one thing. Downdrafts generally only move within a certain area. It is impossible for downdrafts to be present from more than 9,000 meters to low altitude. The range would be too wide and it is basically impossible to occur.

This kind of unusually strong downdraft cannot be resisted by humans. If it is forced to resist, the aircraft as the recipient will be greatly damaged. It is normal for the fuselage to even break and disintegrate in the air.

Therefore, the pilot needs to follow the force of the downdraft like a bullfight. When it is at its most ferocious, he only needs to ensure that the aircraft does not dive too fast and the attitude is too low. When the downdraft begins to weaken, he can try to correct it.

The status of the aircraft is up.

At this time, the altitude of the aircraft was 9,000 meters, which was completely enough for the pilots to tame the downdraft. The only thing they needed to worry about was whether they would be unlucky enough to be hit by a cannonball. Of course, at this time, their eyes were completely dark, so how could they know what was going on below?

Depending on the situation, whether you will be hit or not depends entirely on God’s will.

However, they have now broken through to the artillery fire area. Logically speaking, the radar on the area control side should be able to see it. Anyone with any sense would coordinate with the military to suspend artillery fire activities. Moreover, in this era

It won't be a battle involving thousands of cannons. There are only a few cannons below, so the probability of being hit is actually not high.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, accidentally entering the artillery fire zone is not the most urgent situation. The most urgent situation is that the fragile fuselage really cannot withstand the torment.

As Xu Cang said, as the altitude decreases and the air density increases, the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft naturally increases. Due to the pitch stability of large passenger aircraft, even if the pilot does not intervene, the aircraft itself will tend to gradually pitch

The attitude is corrected back to a relatively reasonable value, that is, the nose of the aircraft will automatically rise to reduce the descent rate.

Xu Cang has never worried about the abnormal dive of the aircraft caused by downdrafts. His only worry has always been the captain's rough operation.

At this time, Xu Cang had already retracted his feet. With the captain's gentle operation, the aircraft's descent rate began to gradually decrease, and it seemed that it was effectively controlled.

Seeing that what Xu Cang said made sense, the captain didn't know what to say anymore, so he followed Xu Cang's suggestion, but he was always worried about the issue of gunfire. Although in theory, the possibility of being hit was small,

But it still existed, and it was not negligible. He didn't want to risk his own life to test the possibility.

Seeing that the plane was almost about to divert, Xu Cang immediately contacted the controller: "Urumqi, Lantian 9211, the plane has almost returned to control."
