Chapter 429 Two hours delay due to air traffic control
When they arrived at Hongqiao Airport, the military transport representative was already waiting at the priority channel of the security gate, and immediately greeted him and saluted, "The scheduled take-off time of the plane is 15:30, and after receiving the order, we immediately coordinated with the airline and the airport to hold the plane." But the plane is full, Comrade Li Zhan, I wronged you to sit in the seat of a flight attendant. ”
The order was issued by the China Eastern Airlines Command, requiring the Military Transportation Office of Hongqiao Airport to coordinate air tickets, and the Military Transportation Office attached great importance to it. China Eastern refers to the East China Sea Fleet Air Command, not China Eastern Airlines.
Li Zhan didn't dare to take the hero's stand in front of the colonel's military transportation director, so he hurriedly saluted, "Don't be wronged, thank you, chief!" ”
"Do you have a gun?" The Director of Military Transport asked.
Li Zhan lifted the hem of his casual clothes to reveal the fast holster, and the black handle of the Type 92 pistol was exposed.
The director of the military transportation department was not surprised, and immediately took out a formality and handed it over, "Fill out the form, and sign the name and position of the gun number." ”
In the priority safe passage, Li Zhan took out the black pound and a half and put it on the table, and pressed his cousin to fill it out quickly. The passengers in the first-class, business-class, and business-class safe lanes next door have their eyes straight. However, I was relieved to see several people in military uniforms.
The gun was a gift from Fang Chenghe on behalf of the Second Division when Li Zhan left the Second Division, and he carried it with him every time he flown it. Flying with a gun is also a training requirement, although there are no live ammunition in it.
The director of the military transport department also thought so, but when he saw Li Zhan unloading the bullet with the magazine and withdrawing from the steel cartridge, his eyes were also straight, and the corners of his mouth twitched to look at the staff officer who sent Li Zhan over, and the staff officer shook his head and said that he didn't know.
After hesitating for a while, until Li Zhan finished filling out the form, the director of the military transportation department did not make up his mind to stop it, but after thinking about it, it is not without precedent to carry live ammunition on the plane, this is another order from the China Eastern Airlines Command directly, and it is difficult to stop it if there is no problem with the procedures.
The most critical thing is that it is impossible to store the guns in the military transport office, so there is no other option.
The mysterious passengers here are going through the relevant procedures in an orderly and rapid manner, and the passengers who have been sitting on the plane for more than an hour on the Airbus 320 passenger plane from MU9527 to Nangang International Airport have been complaining.
First, the queue for take-off was delayed for more than 30 minutes, and after boarding, the plane taxied out and lined up for the second take-off serial number, but I don't know what happened, the plane was called back, and it was parked back on the tarmac, and the passengers saw that the cabin door was connected to the boarding channel and opened.
Some passengers who fly around a lot immediately understood what was going on, and said to those who were not very familiar with the situation, "Don't believe the purser's nonsense, what kind of air traffic control, there must be some privileged person waiting for the plane again." ”
"What privileged person? Big official? Travelers who are not familiar with the situation asked curiously.
The frequent flyer said indignantly, "Hell, I can't run away from some powerful people." It's the middle of the night when I get home. ”
A person who understands the inside story smiled and said with relief, "Under normal circumstances, it is an urgent official business that will cause the plane to take off to be called back. For example, the public security organs handle cases, such as the emergency delivery of medical resources, and so on such urgent public safety affairs. ”
"It's really fake, I'm afraid it's not those who have the power and money to brush the privileges."
……
Ordinary people will always have some assumptions, and of course some rumors are not false. All in all, after another half an hour on the plane, many passengers were more emotional. After several questions about the flight attendants, everyone expressed strong dissatisfaction.
The purser hurriedly asked the captain, the captain asked the tower, the ground control seat of the tower gave a reply, and the captain immediately began to broadcast: "Dear passengers and friends, good afternoon, I am the captain of this flight. Since this flight is the last flight to Nangang today, we need to wait for this officer and soldier to board the plane. ”
After repeating the broadcast twice, the passengers were informed.
"Say it earlier, it's not easy to wait as long as you want to be a soldier."
"yes, I told everyone what was going on and I wouldn't have quarreled."
"Where do the soldiers sit when the plane is full? If you don't sit in my place, I will get off the plane, and the ticket money will not have to be refunded. ”
……
The flight attendants were amazed by how quickly the passengers' attitudes changed, and they were deeply touched by the understanding of many passengers. And when they learned that it was a soldier who was going to board the plane urgently, all their complaints disappeared. Flight delays, especially when you are called back urgently, are the most frustrating, and the crew will also be in a bad mood.
It was already 17:45 p.m. when Li Zhan completed the formalities and entered the boarding passage, and the last security personnel waiting at the cabin door checked Li Zhan's documents and asked him to board the plane. The fair-skinned and beautiful purser and the business class flight attendant greeted them in a standard welcoming posture, and Li Zhan nodded to them and apologized, "I've caused you trouble." ”
"Sir, you are gracious, it is our honor to serve you."
Li Zhan smiled.
The captain opened the hatch and walked over and said, "Major Li, I have been notified that you will be invited to take the second captain's seat." ”
Li Zhan was embarrassed and said, "It's not suitable, right?" ”
He looked at the white-skinned and beautiful purser and the flight attendant and said, "It's not good to make trouble for you, just squeeze these two comrades and me." ”
The purser and the stewardess covered their mouths and snickered, and looked at Li Zhan secretly with their eyes, wow, so handsome!
The corners of the captain's mouth twitched, "Uh, okay then, but the cockpit will leave you with a second captain's seat, and you can come and sit at any time." ”
"Okay, okay, then take off if there's no problem, the passengers are probably in a hurry." Li Zhan said with a smile, handed the duffel bag to the purser, and directly put down the seat for the flight attendant next to the cabin door, and sat down and fastened the seat belt.
The purser is so young and beautiful, and it is rumored that China Eastern Airlines is a sister of Shen Airlines, which does not seem to be true.
Flight MZ9527 was given priority to take off, and the purser came over after the cabin was ready to take off, and said with a smile, "Major Li, where do I sit?" ”
Li Zhan patted his thigh and was very generous.
The purser almost laughed out loud, this man is so shameless!
"No kidding, the plane is taking off soon, please check if your phone is in airplane mode or turned off." The purser lowered the seat next to him and sat down, saying as he fastened his seat belt.
Of course, it is impossible to sit on the thigh, and the flight attendants have extra seats, so there is no need to do that at all.
Li Zhan took out his mobile phone to check according to his words, and there was nothing left to check on a brick that could only make calls and send messages. However, the purser saw Li Zhan take out a piece of hard things, and he was shocked when he saw it, a pistol!
"Don't be nervous." Li Zhan said with a smile, confirming that the pistol and magazine were separated, and reloading the fast holster.
The plane took off with a bang.
