Why did Chen Yi bother with the last hour, because it involved the issue of re-security of luggage.

In the event of a large-scale cancellation of a flight, it is not just a matter of pulling out the baggage of the suspended passengers, but of all other passengers going through the security check again. If all the bags were to be re-screened, it would take a long time, especially if they were still in a distant position.

The people and vehicles who move the goods come over, unload the goods, pull them to the security check, pull them back after the security check, and finally load the goods, and the whole process is different for an hour.

For this reason, if someone wants to cancel their trip, let them stop the trip as soon as possible, so that even if there are many people who cancel the trip, it should be too late to re-check their luggage. However, if it is any later, there is a possibility that they will not be able to make it to the take-off time for the second time, and by that time, they will not know when they will wait for the next time.

As for the specific proportion of passengers who cancel their trips and have to re-check their luggage, the standards of each airport are slightly different, but if the tour group all cancels the trip, Chen Yi will almost certainly exceed the standard, and all luggage will not be able to escape the fate of re-security.

Chen Yi only felt that his head was as big as a fight, it would be good if this tour group stopped the trip early, but if it was later, Chen Yi didn't dare to think about it.

As a service industry, Chen Yi can't let the purser tell them that if you want to stop the trip, you should do it as soon as possible, isn't this driving people down?

"Forget it, no one can say anything about this, just improvise. After a while, inform the passengers that there will be a three-hour delay, and you also have a headache. Chen Yi pinched his temples: "Go ahead, busy with you." ”

As soon as Xu Qinggang heard the purser say that there was a group of elderly tour groups, he knew that something was wrong. Don't look at the air-conditioning of the plane, but how to say that there are hundreds of people nested in a small space, more than an hour may be acceptable, after a long time, most people still feel quite depressed. Especially when people are old, it is estimated that they can't stand being held in the cabin all the time.

Chen Yi still approached the company AOC with some meager expectations, however, AOC's reply was as much as possible as always. Chen Yi can't push AOC too much, and it is really difficult to coordinate flights in T City. When it was over, Chen Yi roughly explained the things that couldn't catch the take-off time, and he didn't seem to care much.

Xu Qing's guess is general, the company is not obsessed with the blue sky 9885 delay. Xu Qing didn't know if it was because they were in charge or because there was a former chief engineer on the plane.

As expected, Chen Yi's phone call did not respond at all after a full hour, and he never called Blue Sky 9885 again in the release frequency.

In the first hour, several passengers decided to cancel the trip, but the number of people was very small. Chen Yi called the passenger elevator and asked the on-site personnel to take out the luggage of the passengers who had stopped the trip.

Chen Yi also specially asked the purser to inquire about the thoughts of the leader of the tour group, according to the leader's meaning, if it was only three hours, they could accept it. However, if the time is extended, they will have to consider aborting the trip, after all, the time is too long, and most of the elderly can't stand it.

The purser conveyed the meaning of the leader of the tour group, and Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Although most of the flights in T city are delayed, it is still relatively rare to be delayed for three hours, and the probability that the flow control will increase in the future is not very large.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Yi gradually became a little complacent, and at this moment, the long-dormant release frequency suddenly called Lantian 9885: "Lantian 9885, your take-off time is out, next 10 o'clock." ”

The corners of Chen Yi's mouth that had just grinned retracted for a moment, and he glanced at the clock, isn't the next 10 minutes an hour and twenty minutes later? How can I see that I am about to finish the delay, and I have added another hour.

"Blue Sky 9885, I'm almost up to time, why is the restriction increasing again? The passengers on my plane have been waiting for three hours, you can see if you can coordinate. Chen Yi said.

The release control is also very difficult: "The weather in T city is not good, and there are a large number of planes circling now, and they want to control the number of planes entering the field, so they have just increased the restrictions. ”

When Chen Yi heard this, he slapped his right hand on the door of his head and let out a long breath, which was very long, as if he was about to drain all the energy in his body.

They knew that the weather in T City was bad when they were preparing for the flight, but at that time, it only showed that there were showers in T City, and they didn't expect that the weather in this field was so bad that they couldn't land. A large number of planes are circling and waiting for the approach, and T City must definitely control the number of planes going to T City, otherwise other planes will rush over one after another, and the approach area of T City must not be crowded.

"Is there any news from T City that the restrictions will be lifted?" Chen Yi thought that bad weather would not always hover in the field, as long as the weather drifted away from the field, the waiting planes could continue to approach, and the restrictions in T City would naturally be lifted. Then the key question is when the weather leaves or dissipates.

An airport of the size of T City will have a special weather station, and the weather forecast there is still relatively accurate.

"The weather response from the T City Meteorological Observatory will last for more than an hour. Now that the approach area of T City is saturated, T City will not be restricted unless it is determined that the weather is not affecting and aircraft can be re-approached. "If the weather doesn't show signs of dissipating as forecasted, the restrictions will continue to increase," he explained. ”

Chen Yi glanced at Xu Qing: "Call the purser in." ”

Xu Qing opened the cockpit door and poked his head out, the purser happened to be in the front cabin, and Xu Qing immediately beckoned the purser into the cockpit.

As soon as the purser entered the cockpit, Chen Yi told the purser about the increase in flow control, and by the way, he also explained to the purser the reason for the increase in flow control.

The purser listened to Chen Yi's explanation, and felt helpless, Chen Yi's statement was reasonable and well-founded, but the passengers didn't care.

If it weren't for the fact that some passengers had to stop their trips and opened the cabin just now, some fresh air could finally flow into the cabin, and some passengers would probably have rebelled. Even so, many travelers are already on the verge of an outbreak, and if they are told to wait another hour, they will definitely make a fuss. They don't care if the weather is bad in T City!

Moreover, listening to Chen Yi's tone, this extra hour is still a small one, and there is a possibility that it will continue to increase.

This flight has to spend four hours at the airport before it takes off, and no one can stand it. According to the time, let alone the T city airport now, some people are estimated to be able to get home.

The purser was thinking about the passengers, but Xu Qing thought of another thorny problem, their duty period seemed to be exceeded.

Although there are only two flights in T City, each section takes a long time because of the long distance, and even so, it is rare to exceed the duty period.

When arranging each flight, the impact of the duty period will be fully considered, leaving enough margin to avoid frequent over-duty periods.

In fact, even if Xu Qing and the others were delayed for four hours, according to the regulations, their duty period would still not be exceeded, but it was already quite tense. At the same time, the premise that their duty period will not be exceeded is that they can take off at 10 minutes at the next point, approach normally when they arrive at the area of T City, and take off again without delay after a normal stop in T City. If there is a significant delay in any of these links, their duty period is likely to be exceeded.

Here it is said that the duty period is not equal to the flight time, the flight time should be well understood, from the time the aircraft starts to move by its own power to the destination to stop moving, that is, the period when the engine is turned off is called flight time. However, the coverage of the duty period is much larger.

Duty period is broadly defined as the time spent by air crew members in the performance of flight and ground tasks arranged by air carriers, which includes, but is not limited to, flight time.

Among them, the pre-flight preparation time, the flight time, the post-flight working time, the mid-stop time, and the time for ground training or performing other tasks together constitute the duty period.

At present, Xu Qing and the others do not involve ground training time for the time being, but the pre-flight preparation time, flight time, post-flight working time, and mid-stop transit time of the first four items are all involved.

As there were no compliant rest areas during the flight, the entire duty period was continuous.

Pre-flight preparation is the beginning of the duty period, in fact, there are regulations that indicate that the flight crew can be considered to have started duty when they leave their residence in order to carry out their mission. However, in actual operation, it is difficult to distinguish between far and near, so the latest sign-in time is generally taken as the beginning of the duty period, that is, the time of check-in for alcohol testing.

After the wine test is checked-in, it is prepared before the flight, and when the pilot checks the flight information in the preparation room and fills in the text documents, even if he is not on the plane, he still thinks that he is on duty.

Not only the flight time, but also the time when you pass through the station is also on duty. In other words, if Blue Sky 9885 arrives in T City, the normal transit time of one hour will also be included in the duty period.

The end of the duty period is not the engine shutdown, because even after the engine is turned off, the crew still has to monitor the passengers to drop off, exit, return the flight information, etc., these actions are still performing tasks, and it cannot be considered that the crew is resting.

Due to the length of the drop-off time, the difference in the exit process, and the situation involving the overnight arrival of oneself with the flight information, it is impossible to unify the end of the duty period, and each company will set a time after the engine is turned off as a continuation of the flight mission.

For example, Blue Sky Airlines set the result of the duty period half an hour after the engine was turned off, that is, after the company's investigation, it was found that most of Blue Airlines' flights could complete the behavior of dropping off passengers, leaving the venue, and handing over information half an hour after the engine was turned off, and this provision was recognized by the bureau.

Even if Xu Qing waited for more than three hours on the plane because of the delay, it was still counted as the duty period. Xu Qing just roughly calculated, their duty period was already quite dangerous, and it was easy to overtake it.

If the situation beyond the duty period is found by the bureau, it will be another troublesome matter.

Chen Yi was so anxious about the increase in flow control at this time, and he didn't think about the duty period for a while, so he instructed the purser to try his best to persuade him, and if the tour group still insisted on canceling the trip, he would immediately notify the cockpit.

The purser returned to the cabin worriedly, and Chen Yi drank a full half bottle of mineral water after speaking, as if the long delay was about to drain it.

"Is there a problem with our duty period?" Chen Yi is really still old and spicy, and after a little relaxation, he found the problem of the duty period.

Xu Qingying said: "It's a little tight!" ”

Chen Yi glanced at the flight plan sandwiched on the mission book on the entrance of the cockpit, calculated the time in his heart, and rekindled the fire of irritability in his heart.

It's not just a little tight, it has to be all unimpeded in the back!

If they can take off in an hour, so as to estimate the landing time, it will coincide with the peak of arrivals in K City, although there will be no major delays, but it is still possible to be twenty or thirty minutes late.

"Let's see if the group wants to stop the trip. If they cancel their trip, we won't be able to fly today. Chen Yi said bitterly.

If the group decides to abort the trip, they will almost certainly not be able to meet the 10-minute departure time, and even if there are no restrictions on when they are ready to take off, it will not help when they can take off.

The company will not let the crew stay overnight in T City!

Just a moment after Chen Yi said this, the purser went and returned, the first sentence was that they wanted to stop the trip, and the second sentence was that it was useless for us to persuade them, and their attitude was very resolute.

Chen Yi didn't talk nonsense, and immediately asked a pair of contacts to send someone over to pull people and luggage.

As expected, as soon as the scene heard that thirty or forty people were going to cancel the trip, they informed the crew that all luggage must be re-checked.

Chen Yi knew the rules and didn't talk about it, just let the scene move faster.

After notifying the scene, Chen Yi made a phone call to the dispatcher and explained their current situation.

Since the dispatch side did not know that a large number of personnel were going to abort the trip, their main focus was still on the restrictions of T City and the crew duty period. Now that Chen Yi has informed that a large number of personnel are going to stop the trip, the dispatch knows that things are not good, and Chen Yi and their already tight duty period may really not be able to hold on.

The dispatcher quickly understood what Chen Yi meant, and told Chen Yi to start looking for someone now.

Chen Yi hung up the phone and stretched: "I'm ready to pack up my things and leave!" ”

"Huh?" Xu Qing was stunned: "It's decided so soon?" What if the luggage is in time? ”

If the airport is very efficient today, and the baggage problem is solved before 10 minutes next time, then although their duty period is a little tight, there is still a theoretical possibility.

"What are you thinking about eating?" Chen Yi rolled his eyes: "Don't you know what urine sex is at this airport?" What about illusions? What's wrong with the work, it's become so positive? ”

"Our duty period is too dangerous, even if we can take off at 10 o'clock, if there is any small problem in the future, we will not be able to fly back. How could a company take a risk! Chen Yi said: "In fact, when the weather in T City deteriorates and the flow control increases, we can't fly!" ”
