Text: Chapter 40: Speeches
Zhang Xiaoran looked at the juniors and sisters in the audience, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. But now is not the time for him to sigh.
"Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Xiaoran. Zhang Xiaoran introduced himself very politely.
The students in the audience applauded in response.
Zhang Xiaoran waited quietly for the applause to subside, and then said, "This is the first time I have returned here since I graduated from B-Fei." To be honest, from the time I stepped into the gate of the academy, I couldn't suppress my emotions. B Fei cultivated me, it can be said that without B Fei, there would be no current Zhang Xiaoran. So the first thing I want to do in my speech today is to thank the college, all the faculty and professors. I am not thanking me alone, but on behalf of all the pilots who graduated from B Fly and are still fighting on the front line, I thank the academy for its teaching.
It is because of your dedication that we have been able to fly safely again and again. ”
Today, of course, it is impossible to have only students, and many professors and instructors of the B flight have come. Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaoran bowed deeply to all the professors and faculty members. Accompanied by Zhang Xiaoran's bow, there was also warm applause from all the students.
After a pause in applause, Zhang Xiaoran straightened up, supported the podium with both hands, and said loudly, "When the college leaders invited me to come, I didn't think about it, and immediately agreed. But after I said yes, I thought, what am I going to tell you when I come, what is it that can really help you?
I thought about it for a long time, and finally I felt that what you lacked the most was not flying technology and flight knowledge. These have teachers from schools who can teach you. What you lack is the consciousness that you are about to become a civil aviation person in country Z.
Flying, the word never means safety, any small mistake, can cause extremely serious consequences. Especially when you graduate and become real pilots, any mistake will cause damage to everyone on the entire plane! Our national civil aviation has always been a concept implementation, that is, safety is the absolute first element.
So I say enlightenment, and from the point of view of your pursuit of me, what you are missing is this awareness of putting safety first. ”
As soon as this sentence was finished, the students in the audience were a little stunned, what does this mean? Why are you still unconscious?
Zhang Xiaoran glanced around the venue, and then continued, "Recently, about the Blue Airlines 327 forced landing incident, it seems that the whole society is talking about it. I, in particular, am the object of much fanfare. What a hero, a savior, a savior, such words come up every day.
For a pilot, these words are really not good words. I often say that there is never a need for heroes in the field of civil aviation, only safety. I just did what a civil aviation pilot should do, but I was called a hero.
Hehe, hero. In the field of civil aviation, there have never been many stories of successful remedies after dangerous accidents. But are these people heroes just like me? Answer: I'm telling you now, neither I nor the pilots who have had the same dangerous accidents, we are not heroes.
The real civil aviation hero is a pilot who has never had an accident in his flying career, more than 20,000 hours of safe flight time, and has always been unknown to fly the aircraft. This kind of pilot is the real hero!
The outside world doesn't understand the truth here, and it's understandable. But all the juniors and sisters here, you must understand this truth!"
Speaking of which, the students in the audience had some understanding. They really worship Zhang Xiaoran blindly, this kind of worship is actually unhealthy, because you worship, so you will definitely be envious. Once you envy it, then you may also want to become a heroic pilot who is praised by people. Once that idea comes to mind, it's really dangerous. Is it possible that you still have to wait for an accident to happen every day when you fly, so that you can save it?
Zhang Xiaoran thought about it for a long time before deciding to tell the students this. He thinks that's what really helps them. At least let them understand that hero, in civil aviation, is not a word worthy of praise.
"All of you should know about our country's flight awards, right? No matter which award it is, the first criterion for the award is safe flight time. This is a hard indicator, no matter how good your skills are, you have saved flight accidents many times. It's useless, if you don't reach enough safe flight time, no award will come to you. From this point, everyone should be able to feel that everything in our Z national civil aviation is based on the premise of safety!
Before I came to the stage, Director Sun told me that our students from B-Fei filled out a questionnaire, and everyone chose a question to ask me, and I would answer it here. I read that question, your question is very uncreative!" After Zhang Xiaoran finished speaking, the students in the audience laughed.
This question is really not creative, and the question raised by the students of B Fei is, how did Zhang Xiaoran become a captain at such a young age?
Zhang Xiaoran tidied up his clothes, and then said, "I won't introduce my resume here, I believe you don't want to hear it." I can be a captain without any know-how, 99 percent hard work, and 1 percent talent. That's why I was able to become a captain.
But that's all that has been said, so I want to ask the brothers and sisters here, do you know the meaning of the captain's epaulettes and four bars?"
There were students in the audience who knew a lot, and they were all talking about it there.
Zhang Xiaoran smiled, then interrupted the enthusiasm of everyone's discussion, and then said, "It seems that everyone understands something." The epaulettes of the pilot's uniform, only the captain's epaulettes, have a special meaning. Regardless of any other pilot, the epaulette is the embodiment of seniority and has no meaning.
The captain's epaulette, the first bar represents profession, the second bar represents knoledge, and the third bar represents flyingskill.
The last bar is also the most important one. This bar stands for responsibility.
So if you want to become a captain, in addition to excellent professional standards, the most important thing is to be able to take responsibility. This is not an empty word, the whole crew, before takeoff, every captain will say, if any situation arises, let me know as soon as possible, I will make the decision, and I will take full responsibility for the decision I make!
So junior brothers and sisters, if you want to become a captain, you still have a long way to go. Everyone is fair, three chances to take the exam, no one is treated. This is absolutely fair, and there will be no favoritism, because all examiners understand how useful a captain really is.
I've talked a lot today, but I'm not a very good person, and I've said so much and I've finished all the things I have prepared. Finally, I hope that all the juniors and sisters can grow into excellent pilots of our civil aviation in country Z and contribute to the civil aviation industry of country Z!!"
After Zhang Xiaoran finished speaking, he bowed and stepped down from the stage, and the applause continued for a long time.
