After Becoming a Little |

"I ask, are you ready?" the captain asked slowly, switching to English.

"There is no problem with my inspection." The co-pilot nodded and put his record board at hand.

After a while, the plane taxied towards the runway, and gradually lifted up and ran towards the sky. The huge shadow of the plane swept across the ground, with white turbulence on the wingtips.

"Ground Control Area, this is Apollo Flight 522, requesting to fly at an altitude of [-] feet."

"Ground control has received that Helios flight 522 is allowed to fly at an altitude of [-] feet. I wish you a pleasant flight. 』

"Great, I like today's work, everything is going well." The captain said so, turned his head and smiled at the co-pilot: "And I have an appointment with my fiancée. When I go back this time, I will hold a meeting with her." Wedding—maybe I can buy her a few unusual and special gifts from the Republic, I hope she will like it."

"...Excuse me, what did you say?" The co-pilot gestured to his ear: "If possible, please speak English."

"I say—work hard."

"Yes, I will."

"..."

So just like that, the plane gradually climbed towards the sky, and then climbed again...

PS: continue tomorrow

France International Airport · Logistics Department

"Hey, Andre, have you finished your preparations?" Someone said hello, and put down the file board and hard hat in his hand: "Would you like to have a drink?"

"Of course it's done, the plane has taken off." The man called Andre yawned: "Drinking or something, let's talk about it after get off work...I caught a hot girl in the bar on the fourth street last night, Tsk! You really can't guess why those Ukrainian girls are so enthusiastic..."

"Hehe, of course you are enthusiastic." The other party sneered disdainfully: "If you are not enthusiastic, you will probably have to be sent back because you don't have money to make a relationship—you spent a lot of money last night, right?"

"Cough...no, she and I had a brief love affair. We fell in love at first sight last night. We got together and parted ways this morning."

"Tuk-tuk--"

Someone knocked hard and impatiently on the door of the lounge: "Gentlemen, it's not dinner time yet. If anyone has rested, can they go to work? Who can go to the airport apron?"

As he spoke, he pointed to Andre: "Where is the list of flight 522 before? Is there any problem with the plane?"

"Mr. Supervisor, that's a new plane. That Airbus A320XLR has been in our company for a shorter time than mine. What's the problem?"

Andre muttered so, and handed over the document board: "Everything is fine, sir, maybe we can purchase a few more of these planes."

"Do your job well." The supervisor with a beer belly snorted and flipped through the file board, then threw it back on the table: "Purchase a new plane? Those bosses on the board of directors are eager to give the old propeller plane in the junkyard Plug in new engines and let them continue to carry passengers... well, don't chat, you can go wherever you want to meet your dear lover after work, but now everyone is moving, we still have work to do."

Everyone responded feebly and watched the supervisor walk away muttering.

A flight attendant elbowed Andre: "I heard that the company is planning to use the A320XLR to fly intercontinental routes in the future?"

"Maybe, but to be honest, that plane is a bit narrow for intercontinental routes..." Andre shrugged and took back his file board.

During this process, he glanced at the record almost subconsciously, and the column that said [Pressure Test] was marked with the word "Normal".

But for some reason, Andre always felt like he had forgotten something—this feeling was probably similar to the anxiety of suddenly recalling that he might not have closed the door after going out.

But in just half a second, Andre put this doubt behind him.

I must be thinking too much, and even if I didn't adjust the pressure switch, so what?

This is different from being patronized by thieves if you forget to close the gate.

If the aircraft's pressurization button is not adjusted from manual to automatic, it is nothing more than that the flight altitude of the aircraft needs to be lowered a little-and it must be adjusted by itself.

If I report it because of such a little bit of paranoia, at least I need to make an emergency landing on this flight

It's like what the supervisor said just now, when the time comes, those big bosses on the board of directors will be more than happy to throw themselves into the garbage dump - every intercontinental flight is money, and it's all purple euros, as long as the aircraft engine is turned on , It means that a lot of banknotes are burned in.

"Let's go, Apron [-]... By the way, have you left the contact information of your Ukrainian lover who fell in love at first sight?"

"No, the communication between me and her is only about feelings, nothing else."

"Come on bro, how about I buy you a drink tonight?"

"Of course, you know that sometimes relationships need to be maintained. Although I don't have her personal contact information, I have the address of that bar..."

"..."

……

……

High above the sky, the plane is gradually climbing.

Apollo Airlines Flight 522 is an A320XLR that Airbus has just delivered to Apollo Airlines.

As a new model that has not yet entered the market in the world line of the earth that Alia is familiar with, Blue Star's Airbus can do a lot.

This long-range single-aisle aircraft, which is based on the A320 model and further enhances the product potential, can even reach a theoretical range of 8700 kilometers.

As a single-aisle aircraft, what is the concept of an endurance of 8700 kilometers?

People who are familiar with aviation airliners usually only use two words to describe it when they see this kind of aircraft - aircraft!Strange!

If you raise your hand and change it to a dual channel, then it will be able to firmly enter the intercontinental route.

It's a pity that I can't lift it, A340 is watching, ready to pour a cup of aviation kerosene for the little brother at any time.

If Apollo Airlines hadn't considered the recent busy flights, I'm afraid they wouldn't want to use this plane to fly directly from France to the Republic. After all, some people can experience the 8-hour continuous flight experience of an extended-range airliner. ——This is not a comfortable process.

Single-aisle airliners belong to the category of narrow-body airliners. Compared with the abnormally large dual-aisle wide-body airliners that can be seen as A380 sky palaces at a glance, it is not only the number of seats that is missing, but also various additional facilities. Also reduce.

There is only one aisle in the middle of the aircraft cabin, which is more stretched, runs faster, is easy to maintain, and saves fuel—full demonstration of what is meant by being fast and economical.

But the benefits are all airlines. Passengers think about the scene where they have to squeeze in the aisle and cannot turn around even to go to the toilet, and they probably know what it feels like.

So for a long time, with Boeing's 757 gradually withdrawing from the intercontinental route market due to the upper limit of the model age, only Airbus A330 and A340 and Boeing's 787 are tossing back and forth in the entire long-distance international route.

It's not that the airlines don't want to fly new planes, but that the plane manufacturers are not doing their best, and there are too many unsatisfactory shortcomings.

An embarrassing cargo such as a single-aisle airliner, the aircraft is small, the space is uncomfortable, and the cruising range is not enough.

This thing is just like the battery anxiety of a mobile phone, every time it flies to the end, it will be in single digits——

Take a look at the arrhythmia.

Look at the myocardial infarction.

Kan Sanyan unfortunately died of cerebral hemorrhage on the spot...

At the beginning, China Eastern Airlines gritted its teeth and opened a domestic route to Aocun. It sent marketing personnel to scour the world for safe waypoints within the voyage range based on the 737-800 flight range.

You said it was not good to follow the original route?Or is it okay to go straight ahead without thinking?

But it didn’t work. In the end, Boeing also provided technical support. A group of people sifted through the streets like ants for a long time before they came up with a very nice one-way 5.5-hour intercontinental flight.

Well, ended up flying to Darwin...

The Lijiapo transit station next door cried and fainted in the airport toilet - if you know that it would take an extra nine hours to transfer to their place,

These nine hours are a small amount of money!

But the question is, is it really because domestic airlines feel sorry for passengers that they have spent so much effort?Thinking about connecting every village all day long?

No, it's because the maximum range of the 737-800 is less than 6000 kilometers. If it exceeds this range, it will fall to the ground with a "slap—" and fall into a big fireball.

Moreover, there are subsidies for international flights. Even if the seats are not full, as long as you board the flight, the subsidy for a flight is no less than 15. Who doesn't want to be rich?

The airline company at the International Airport is not because of the subsidy, it is purely because the Spring Festival of the Republic will be immediately after Christmas in 8102. The Spring Festival, which was originally in February, has been brought forward to the end of January. This wave of passenger flow peak is much earlier than before. More than a month, so I had to reschedule a new shift to guide all kinds of guests.

But because of the limitations of single-aisle airliners and the layout of the cabin, even old passengers like my mother blame me who don’t care about enjoying themselves, feel the thin climbing feeling of the plane, and secretly murmur in my heart about the quality of the plane on the French side. ⑧ is very good.

Sitting next to my mother was a young man who seemed to be very familiar with the flight attendant on the plane. Even though the flight attendant was sitting on a small stool during the climb, the two sides still looked at each other, flirted with each other, and smiled.

My mother blamed her many years of single experience, and she knew at a glance that these two goods have something-mostly because her busy girlfriend is busy at work, so the boyfriend who is not so busy at work deliberately came here to aggravate the busy girlfriend Work, the euphemistic name is that you can meet each other even like this.

Maybe he can take out the ring and propose to the flight attendant, and he can report it after the other party agrees, and then the airline can fire him...

Of course, in terms of the "romantic feelings" in the bones of the French, this may be a good story.

Perhaps it was because my mother's strange eyes were too sharp. After the flight attendant noticed it, she straightened her temples unnaturally, looked down at the carpet, and waited earnestly for the plane to level off after climbing.

The young man also noticed that his girlfriend had noticed that others had noticed their relationship. He turned his head to look over, cleared his throat, and was glanced at by his mother.

That's Mo De's emotional glance, indifferent.JPG

A person who just walked down from the battlefield with gunpowder smoke, and his mind is full of chaotic conjectures about his daughter's sudden increase in secret level, coupled with his stomach full of grievances against the villain, the big devil, who has nowhere to vent, can have a good face Strange - although my mother blamed herself for thinking that she just had a calm expression and no waves.

To be honest, compared to Xingbu Ji or the so-called Red Dragon Queen in Britain, the villain is the most annoying character.

The former is a satellite that landed on the ground, even if it won't be installed for the time being, it can be pulled out and beaten in the future, but the villain, the big devil, is now floating in the sky, and he hasn't even figured out the affiliation of his power. , On the contrary, the battle is not small at all.

My mother felt aggrieved, it's normal to be a little cold at the moment.

But the young man didn't think so, he just rolled his throat, and subconsciously felt that he had done something wrong...

Then he stammered and explained: "Sorry ma'am... I... she's my fiancée and I'm also a flight attendant."

"... Oh." My mother responded strangely, but said nothing else.

"I was on vacation - I mean, I was on vacation, but my fiancée was still working, so I chose to accompany her on this flight, but I am now a passenger like you, so if you need anything If you want, you can tell me... No, I mean, you can tell my fiancee..."

"If possible, I hope you can be quiet." My mother closed her eyes and leaned back on the chair: "I just want to take a rest."

The young man shrugged: "As you wish, ma'am."

"..."

Apollo Flight 522 Cockpit

After the plane climbed to an altitude of [-] feet, a strange thing happened.

A rather unique siren sounded in the cockpit, and both pilots looked over suspiciously.

The captain looked around the instrument panel: "What's the situation? Is it the alarm bell set for the plane to take off?"

What he is talking about is the takeoff configuration alarm, which is a safety device specially set for takeoff safety.
