Chapter 349 - Flight Cancellation Crew Arrangements

Xingfei Airlines has only a few routes at W City Airport, and the time of their respective flights is staggered, at least for now, there is only one Xingfei 8342 plane in W City Airport. Among the few routes, there are only two overnight flights, one for Xingfei 8341 and one for City C, just two hours later.

There are not many planes in Xingfei Airlines, and the planes are still relatively tight, even if they are from the headquarters base, they should not be able to transfer planes over.

At that time, Zhang Qijun only asked if he would make up the shift, and his expectation was not to make up the shift, after all, the fault of this generator seems to be quite secret, and it will take a long time to repair, or the maintenance of the machine is not counted, and the passengers cannot be allowed to wait indefinitely.

However, the dispatch said that there would be no make-up shifts, so the issue of compensation is indeed a problem that needs to be considered, after all, the airline is fully responsible for this matter. Of course, the issue of compensation is a matter for the company, and has nothing to do with the crew. However, as a member of Xingfei Airlines, Xingfei Airlines is also good to its employees, and Zhang Qijun still cares about it.

That's right, it's just that he cares about it, Zhang Qijun didn't think too much, and they couldn't do anything, but the answer of the dispatch surprised him a lot.

"What do you mean by using a Blue Sky Airways plane?" Zhang Qijunrao is already the captain, or the second monk is confused: "You said let Blue Sky Airlines fly our class?" ”

"That's right! We can't turn the plane. We contacted Blue Sky Airways and they were able to deploy an aircraft in W City. Dispatch explained.

"I'm not talking about whether Blue Sky Air can pull out planes in W City, I'm talking about whether it can still be done like this? Let other companies fly our routes. Zhang Qijun is really unheard of for this kind of operation.

"Why not? We've been working with Blue Sky for a long time! Weird, isn't it? "It's not strange to be dispatched.

"Is it compliant? Does the bureau agree? Zhang Qijun asked. Today is a long day of knowledge!

The dispatch explained: "This kind of temporary overtime must be reported to the bureau for approval, and it is estimated that it will take several hours." Blue Sky Airlines has already started to prepare the aircraft and crew to take over. Just wait for the bureau's approval! ”

"I'll go, I can really do this!" Zhang Qijun's three-view explosion, this kind of thing is really unheard of.

Of course, Zhang Qijun is only limited to the feeling of opening his eyes, although he is the captain, but he still focuses on flying skills, and he does not know much about the rules of this kind of flight operation. He really hadn't seen this kind of change of company to fly a flight. But just because he hasn't seen it doesn't mean he can't, he can only say that he doesn't know.

"So what do we do? Well? Zhang Qijun was originally going to ask if the flight was canceled, what should they do, he had to give a plan to go back, his home is not in W City. As soon as he left the words, he saw that the trailer was coming, and the voice of the captain sounded in the earphones: "Captain, your company notified us that the flight was canceled, so now we will tow it back?" ”

Isn't this the voice of the machine operator who just said to invite his master? The co-author didn't invite the master, so he invited the trailer over. It's really sweet!

Anyway, when did he come over, Xu Qing and Zhang Qijun really didn't notice it, they were elusive.

"Didn't you go to ask your master?" Zhang Qijun teased the maintenance hand.

The maintenance said embarrassedly: "The maintenance department of your company contacted us directly and told us about the flight cancellation, and my master will not come." Your company will send someone directly to assist in the inspection. ”

When the maintenance explained, Zhang Qijun said to the dispatch on the phone: "The trailer is coming, I'll contact you later." ”

After speaking, Zhang Qijun hung up the phone and contacted the maintenance again: "You say, can we cut the engine directly?" ”

When it was first launched, I didn't think about going back, or I should say I didn't think about going back. The location of the parking stand is behind the aircraft, if you want to turn around, you need to turn a big circle, the apron is not spacious enough, and there is a high probability that it is not enough to turn.

At this time, it is necessary to tow the trailer to the parking position, but the trailer cannot be hung while the engine is running. In normal times, Zhang Qijun turned off the engine, there was no psychological burden, but now there is no APU, if the engine is turned off, the plane will run out of power, the lights in the cabin will be dimmed, and the passengers will probably rebel again.

"Captain, yes! I can't come here with a ground power truck! Anyway, it's just a moment. "The maintenance of the aircraft is simple, isn't it just to turn off the engine, and the cabin has nothing to do with him!

It's none of his business, he is happy to be idle.

"You wait a minute!" It is imperative to cut the engine, but before that, Zhang Qijun still has something to explain.

"Talk to the regulators." Zhang Qijun instructed Xu Qing to inform them of their decision to control the apron, which was agreed before.

Xu Qing understood and contacted the apron control: "Apron, our family has decided to cancel the flight, and now we have a tow truck and will tow it back to the parking space in a while." ”

"Okay, drag it to the ground and report it." The apron control channel made it easier for him to direct the planes that would be launched later.

When Xu Qing was talking to the ramp control, Zhang Qijun was also contacting the cabin crew through the internal phone. The news of the flight cancellation must be told to the flight crew, this is the rule, and turning off the engine for a while will cause the cabin light to dim instantly, he needs to talk to the cabin crew in advance, otherwise the flight crew doesn't know what the situation is, and the engine is suddenly silent, at least give them a psychological preparation.

"My family told us that the flight was cancelled." Zhang Qijun said.

The purser was unmoved: "We know, the cabin department just called me, and we will be going back with a blue sky airplane in a while." ”

"So fast?" Zhang Qijun was stunned, the cabin crew not only knew that the flight was canceled, but even knew where it was going next, how could the cabin department always progress faster than the flight department?

Whether at Starfly Airlines or at his former company, he found that the flight attendants were always faster than their pilots. Sometimes when the flight attendant comes to coordinate, the first sentence that comes up is "Captain, are we delayed?" ", and then the pilot said full of question marks.

It may take a few minutes for the flight crew to receive a call from the dispatcher saying that the flight has been seriously delayed, so let the crew go to the attendance building to open a room and rest.

The most infuriating thing is that most of the time the pilot can get information even faster than the safety officer, and the pilot is at the lowest end of the information chain anyway.

"Then what do we say about the dispatch of your cabin?" Zhang Qijun has been reduced to asking the flight crew from the cabin dispatcher's mouth.

Purser: "I didn't say this, why don't you ask your own dispatcher, what are we doing?" ”

"Okay, okay, wait until you're done." Zhang Qijun also knew that he couldn't keep talking, so he still got down to business: "Isn't our APU unusable, the trailer needs to cut the engine for a while, and the light in the cabin will dim if the engine is cut." When you announce the cancellation of the flight, by the way, you also say that the cabin lights will be dimmed, so that the lights will dim for a while, and the passengers will have to scream again. ”

After explaining to the purser, Zhang Qijun waited until he could hear that the crew had made the announcement, and then called the maintenance: "Then I'll cut the engine, you guys are ready to hang the trailer." ”

"Okay." The maintenance replied.

Now the APU can't be used, Xu Qing and they don't have to wait for the APU to start, they directly cut the two engines, and in an instant, the plane was powered off, and the six NDs in the cockpit were all black, and many of the indicator lights became dim.

Perhaps because of the broadcast, the passengers were mentally prepared, just listening from the cockpit, and there was no reaction in the cabin behind. At this time, according to the shutdown procedure, it is necessary to turn off the seat belt, etc., but now it is not really at the port, and the passenger cannot be allowed to unbuckle the seat belt, and the seat belt electric door must be kept in place.

At the same time, the anti-collision light can not be turned off, because during the maintenance operation, the anti-collision light must be kept in the open position, which is a civil aviation regulation.

Now, although the engine is cut, it cannot be done according to the shutdown procedure, which is not the same as the shutdown procedure at the port.

However, the fuel pump valve can be closed, and the operating procedures of the hydraulic system need to be changed. The normal shutdown procedure is to close the electro-hydraulic pump valves of system A and system B, and keep the engine hydraulic pump valves of system A and system B in the open position. But this procedure is not coordinated with the situation at this time, because to hang the trailer, it is necessary to bypass the pressure of the A system, at this time it is still to turn off the two hydraulic pumps of the A system, and open the two hydraulic pumps of the B system, just like the launch of the program.

After Zhang Qijun cut off the engine, Xu Qing turned on and off the glide lights, and when he saw the flashing glide lights at the machine below, he knew that the engine had been turned off, and beckoned the trailer master to drive the trailer over and start hanging the trailer.

The trailer is hung up, and the maintenance contacts: "Captain, the trailer is hung up, and the brakes can be sent." ”

Just when the engine was started, the stop brake was released again, Zhang Qijun: "The brake is loose!" ”

The maintenance received the instruction and gestured to the tow truck master, and the tow truck began to tow the aircraft to its original position.

During this period, Xu Qing suddenly remembered one thing and stretched his neck to look at the parking position. Sure enough, there was only a maintenance guide on the parking stand, and there was no passenger ladder car or ferry car.

"Brother, the flight is canceled, what should the passengers do?" Xu Qing asked.

Zhang Qijun's face was strange: "The dispatch said that there would be a temporary extra flight of Blue Sky Airlines to N City, and the passengers would take that plane." ”

"What? Blue Sky Air? Xu Qing was separated by more than a year, and he was extremely surprised to hear the name of his old club again.

"What's wrong? Such a big reaction? Zhang Qijun looked Xu Qing up and down, just now Xu Qing's face changed when he heard the words Blue Sky Airlines, and it was the first time Zhang Qijun saw Xu Qing's reaction so exaggerated.

Xu Qing hurriedly gathered his thoughts: "No...... I've never heard of it like this. It's just a novelty! ”

"yes!" Zhang Qijun grinned: "I didn't know that I could do this before, a new knowledge a day." ”

"What about the passengers?" Xu Qing inexplicably repeated the question again.

Zhang Qijun frowned: "Didn't you say it?" ”

Xu Qing explained: "I mean whether the passengers will stay on the plane or pull them down for a while, since the next flight will send them away, where will they be pulled?" It's not really a flight cancellation. Since you want to change companies, I'm afraid that you have to change your boarding pass, and your luggage will have to be re-checked, haven't these companies told you just now? ”

"That's right! The girl didn't tell me! Zhang Qijun slapped his thigh, he had never encountered this kind of company change before, and it was inevitable that there would be some omissions when considering it.

Now it's not just a change of crew or plane, but a direct change of airline, which involves a lot of things, and he really didn't think about it that much just now.

"You kid can, the flight is calculated thoroughly!" Zhang Qijun patted Xu Qing's shoulder warmly and praised it rarely.

Xu Qingpi pretended to smile without smiling, without the slightest wave in his heart, and even wanted to laugh a little. It's not that I'm transparent, it's obvious that you're too sloppy.

Zhang Qijun was still praising Xu Qing in the previous sentence, and the next sentence changed: "You are good at everything, but the name is not very good, why don't you go back and change your name?" We have to believe in the flight, listen to my brother, you can't control this name, let's change it. ”

Don't look at Zhang Qijun at a glance is the kind of man who stands at the forefront of fashion, I didn't expect that he is also an old feudal in his bones, this remark almost made Xu Qing's nose crooked, but for Zhang Qijun's sincere face, Xu Qing smashed his mouth or chose not to look over, but said faintly: "You can't blame me for your luck!" ”

"Blame the name, there's something wrong with the name." Zhang Qijun fell into the lower stone ground, and said with a smile.

Xu Qing was reluctant to talk to Zhang Qijun anymore, for fear that he would be so angry that his brain was bruised.

The plane was already close to the parking stand, and when Zhang Qijun and Xu Qing said a few words, the plane was in place. After the plane was in place, Zhang Qijun braked the brakes, and the maintenance went to put the wheel gear, and Xu Qing carried out the remaining shutdown procedures.

The maintenance set up the wheel block, Zhang Qijun released the brakes, and Xu Qing contacted the apron: "Apron, Xingfei 8342 is in place, goodbye." ”

"Xingfei 8342, if you have anything to contact the scene, goodbye!" The apron control was enthusiastic, and he instructed Xu Qing and them when he was ready.

After Zhang Qijun finished everything, he dialed the dispatch phone: "What about the passengers on the plane?" ”

"We have notified the airport in W City, and in a moment there will be a shuttle bus to pull them to a special place, and the luggage will also be taken away, you notify the flight crew and ask them to inform the passengers to bring all their carry-on luggage." Dispatch said.

"Oh, okay! By the way, send an infield car over, we're leaving. Zhang Qijun added. Now that the plane is in a remote position, they can't squeeze the shuttle bus with the passengers.

"I've been contacted, wait a minute."

Zhang Qijun: "What should we do with our crew?" Do you want to go back with that Blue Sky Airlines plane? ”

"Captain, you won't go back, anyway, you have to add a crew to come over tomorrow, or I will contact the hotel directly and ask them to send a car over, you can go back to the hotel directly." The dispatch discussed.

Zhang Qijun suddenly brightened, right! I'm going to have to add an extra crew tomorrow, I almost forgot!
