Statham, who also heard what was broadcast on the radio, was also surprised, and he couldn't help but say: "The air dispatchers are on strike...... Are these guys crazy?!"

Yes, in Statham's view, the strike of the air dispatchers is simply crazy, the job of aviation dispatch is different from the workers on the production line, this job has extremely high requirements for professionalism, those small and micro airports that can not take off and land a few planes a day, it is okay to have someone familiar with the operation of the tower to make a temporary cameo dispatch, guide small aircraft to take off and land, and even if necessary, it is not impossible for the pilot to directly visually land without the command of the dispatcher.

But that is not the case at all for those medium-sized, large-scale, and even hub-level civil airports, without the dispatch and command of the air dispatchers, the entire airport will be paralyzed in an instant, and a very real problem is: Not to mention for the time being, how much loss will the strike of these air dispatchers bring to the civil aviation giants, and how can those civil aviation planes that are still flying in the sky land now? This strike is simply a joke with the lives of the common people!

"Well," Chen Geng responded: "These guys are simply joking about the safety of the lives of those passengers in the sky, I just don't know how the one who sat in front of the resolute table just now will react?"

"Are you saying that Mr. Reagan may react to this strike?" Statham was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "This is impossible, right? After all, the strike is the right of the workers, how could Mr. Reagan ...... it?"

"Strike is the right of the workers," Chen Geng said before Statham could finish speaking, "but those passengers in the sky also have the right to live." ”

“……”

Statham was instantly dumbfounded: Yes, it is your right for your dispatchers to strike, but you can't joke with the lives of your puppets in order to gain your own benefits.

Thinking of this, Statham's thoughts couldn't help but drift away: I wonder what kind of reaction Mr. Li Gen, who had just sat in front of the resolute table, would have at this moment?

……………………

What will be the reaction of the White House?

What would be Reagan's reaction?

The reaction was that Comrade Reagan, who had just moved to the White House, was turning blue at this moment, and he angrily slapped the table and shouted: "Bastards!

When he received the secretary's briefing, Comrade Reagan was simply mad: Again, the sky does not know that hundreds or thousands of large civil aviation planes are floating, and without the dispatcher's dispatch and command, how can these planes be lowered? How can the safety of the passengers on the plane be guaranteed?

The secretary was trembling and wanted to stuff his head into his crotch: he originally wanted to tell his boss that the contact numbers in the White House had been ringing, all of them were from major media, and without exception they all asked to interview you, but looking at the boss's appearance, forget it......

It was Reagan, a strongman worthy of a strongman, he knew very well that scolding would not help solve the problem, he took a deep breath, and he commanded the secretary with a gloomy face: "Let the head of the aviation authority come to see me immediately." ”

"Mr. Michael has arrived," the secretary breathed a sigh of relief, and said at once, "just wait outside." ”

…………

Seeing Michael Wilson, the director of the FAA, Comrade Reagan came up and asked: "Mr. Wilson, you are the governing body of the entire American civil aviation industry, and you tell me, do you have an emergency response plan in the face of this situation?"

Michael Wilson, who was already sweating all over his head, was even more sweaty at the moment, and the sweat on his forehead was like a stream, and the poor FAA director carefully said to Comrade Reagan while wiping his sweat: "No, no ......"

"You don't even have an emergency plan to deal with it?" Comrade Reagan looked at him in disbelief: "You guys are crazy?! What the hell are you going to eat?!"

Speaking of this, Comrade Reagan walked to the side of the bed in a few steps, opened the curtains with a bang, pointed to the sky outside, and said loudly to Michael Wilson: "Right now, there are thousands of planes and at least hundreds of thousands of people waiting to land in the sky of the Federation, but you tell me that you have no emergency plan to deal with the dispatcher's strike......?

Are you sure you're not kidding me?!

Tell me, how did the thousands of planes out there land safely on the ground?

I'm also telling you, if you can't come up with a solution within an hour, you're going to fuck me off!"

Yes, in Comrade Reagan's view, the fact that the FAA, knowing the importance of air dispatchers, did not formulate an emergency plan specifically for air dispatchers, which is simply incredible, and he almost said, "You guys, how did you grow up eating?"

Poor Michael Wilson, at the moment is really sweating like rain.

Yes, the FAA is well aware of the importance of air dispatchers at airports, but they really didn't expect air dispatchers to go on strike.

Why?

Because there is no reason to work only 4 days a week, a shift is only 4 hours, a high salary, high benefits, high overtime pay, up to a month of paid vacation per year, and the unique benefit of free flights on all airlines in the United States...... Any air dispatcher earns more than $4,500 a month, and in this era when the average American worker earns less than $1,000 a month, what do you want?!

In Michael Wilson's view, there really was no reason for the air dispatchers to strike, but they did, not only on strike, but on more demanding terms: a 30% increase in hourly wages, better benefits, better treatment......

"I ...... I ......"

In the face of Comrade Reagan's threat, Michael Wilson, who also knew the seriousness of the matter, could only bite the bullet and say: "I think ...... The only way is to agree to their conditions and let them return to the dispatch post as soon as possible......"

"That's your solution?"

Before Michael Wilson could finish speaking, Comrade Reagan interrupted him with a disappointed look on his face and said categorically: "No! I will never agree! Am I not as good as Fernandez?"

In Reagan's view, if AMC's Fernández Chan would rather bear huge losses than agree to the terms of the striking workers, and finally achieve the final victory, why can't he do it himself?

Fernandez?

Michael Wilson thought hard for a long time before he remembered what Mr. President's Fernandez was sacred, and then the poor director couldn't help but cry: "Sir, Fernandez dared to stand up to the workers' strike because he had nothing to lose except some money, but if we didn't agree to the conditions of those air dispatchers, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the sky of the United States right now."

Once this matter is not resolved, you ......"

Although what Michael Wilson said was very subtle, who was Comrade Reagan? Before he became president of the United States, he served as governor for several terms, so how could he not understand that Michael Wilson was reminding himself that if he did not handle it well, let alone seek re-election, it was not impossible to be directly dismissed, but it was better to force the major airports to agree to the demands of those dispatchers, and then slowly find a way to concoct those dispatchers later.

From a sound point of view, there is no doubt that there is no problem with Michael Wilson's suggestion, even if the dispatcher and the union agree to the demand, it is the airport that pays for it, and perhaps the airport will pass on this part of the cost to the airline and then to the passengers, but how much time will it be later?

But who was Reagan?

This guy is known for being tough, isn't it because the United States needs a tough American president because the United States needs a tough American president? How could he give in at this time because of such a little pressure?

"Don't be so troublesome," Reagan waved his hand vigorously, the stubbornness in his bones came up, and he turned to the secretary and instructed: "Isn't it just a strike by the staff in a few key positions, and it's not so troublesome to solve...... Schneider, help me pick up the Secretary of Defense. ”

"Mr. President, I'm Schneider. ”

The call was quickly connected, and Defense Minister Schneider's tone was calm.

"I'm Ronald," Reagan didn't go around in circles with the Secretary of Defense, and asked, "Can our Air Force aviation dispatcher take over and be competent for the aviation dispatch work at civilian airports?"

As soon as he heard his boss's words, Schneider knew what was going on, and immediately said without hesitation: "No problem!"

"Are you sure?"

"I'm very sure," Schneider said without hesitation, "In fact, many of the aviation dispatchers at those civilian airports are retired dispatchers from our Air Force. ”

"Okay, I see," Reagan asked, "you guys get ready at once, wait for my orders, and if the union doesn't agree to the demand to return to work immediately and unconditionally, let our children go up at once." ”

"Understood!"

Michael Wilson, who listened to the conversation between Mr. President and Mr. Secretary of Defense, was stupid: I am so stupid, really, as the head of the US civil aviation authority, why didn't I think of letting those military aviation dispatchers who served in the Air Force come to serve as dispatchers at the airport, and the GIs would not protest.

Dorry Reagan asked him, "Michael, what do you think?" and then he suddenly reacted and hurriedly said, "I...... I think it's okay, uh...... In fact, I think it's good......"

Speaking of this, Michael Wilson's confidence involuntarily increased: since we still have cards in our hands, and they are obedient enough cards, then what do we have to worry about?
