The world map and the only you

Life is like this day by day, and in a blink of an eye, 2019 has turned the last page and entered a new year.

The first snow in Beijing in 2020 came early. On the night of January [-]th, shiny white snowflakes fluttered down from the sky. In the gaps between skyscrapers and illuminated by city lights, dreams of rainbow colors were precipitated.

The circle of friends was swiped all of a sudden, and everyone recorded the first snow in every corner of the city.

"Auspicious snow heralds a good year!" Some people lamented that urban residents can't hope for a good harvest, but hope for a year of good weather and good luck.

Yan Xuan started to work on a new project again. On Sunday, he consciously went to the company for a meeting to connect with foreign customers. Because of the time difference, it was already very late when it ended.He rubbed his tired eyes, and looked out of the window on the 26th floor. The fine snow particles in the air were swaying freely, shining like obsidian.

After it was over, he entered the elevator with a female colleague in the same group. The colleague casually said, "Yan Xuan, have you watched the news recently?"

Yan Xuan asked, "Which news?"

There was no one else in the elevator, and the colleague still subconsciously lowered his voice and covered his mouth with a folder: "Someone posted before that Wuhan pneumonia was SARS and it reappeared, but the rumor was officially refuted by the police station."

Yan Xuan didn't pay much attention to this, and asked: "So is it true or not? I seem to have seen a news about 'Wuhan Pneumonia' the other day, but I haven't had time to read it carefully."

"It can't be fake, the official rhetoric is very contradictory," the colleague twitched the corner of his mouth, and said flatly, "Refuting the rumors on Weibo, in fact, the seafood market has been ordered to close for a few days."

"Is it really SARS?! Has there been a confirmed case?" Yan Xuan didn't quite believe it. He still remembered the situation of SARS when he was in elementary school. He stopped school for several months and didn't go out of the house very much. How could he make a comeback again?

"I don't know if it's SARS, but now it's called 'unknown pneumonia', but there aren't many cases, maybe it's not very contagious." The colleague just felt that the silence in the elevator was too embarrassing, so he said something about the news, the elevator door opened Now, the smell of not seeing the sun in the underground garage came to her nostrils, she smiled at Yan Ling, "Go back and rest early, there are a lot of things to catch up tomorrow."

Yan Xuan took out the car keys and waved to his colleagues: "Goodbye, drive carefully."

He turned a few turns to find his car, sat in the driver's seat, and didn't rush to start the ignition. He first checked whether Tong Yixin's flight status tonight was affected by the snow. Sure enough, several hours had passed , is still delayed, and the take-off time on the software is still "to be determined".

He sent a WeChat message: [Can I still fly today? 】

He thought Tong Yixin was busy and might not be able to reply for a while, but as soon as he put on his seat belt, his cell phone rang: [I don't know, I'm still waiting for the airport to arrange a deicing truck to come to deicing, the passengers are already in Two hours on the plane. 】

Yan Xuan watched a lot of social news for a while, and worried: [There is no trouble, right? 】

Tong Yixin sat on the take-off and landing position in the back cabin, and quickly replied: [No, this is beyond our control, but if we wait two hours before flying, we will have to stepdown. 】

Tong Yixin posted again: [I won't chat with you anymore, I have to push another round of drinks. 】

According to the International Civil Aviation Convention, the CCAR Civil Aviation Administration has formulated the "Regulations on Flight Time, Duty Time and Rest Time of Cabin Crew" [Note 1], which sets a clear limit for the maximum duty time of the crew to prevent short-term fatigue and accumulation Sexual fatigue endangers flight safety.And the flight crew's rest time regulations are more stringent.

Tong Yixin's flight time on duty this time is already long, if the delay continues, the duty time will definitely be exceeded, and the crew needs to be replaced.Tong Yixin glanced out the window, the plane stopped motionless, and a thin layer of snow had already fallen on the wings.

It's just snow. If there is frost, it will be even more dangerous. Frost will seriously affect the lift of the aircraft. In the past few years, large and small flight accidents caused by improper deicing are not uncommon.In fact, this is where US Airways Flight 405 crashed, killing 27 people.According to 121FS-R2, when there is frost, snow or ice attached to the wings, control surfaces, propellers, engines, air intakes or other important surfaces of the aircraft, no one shall take off the aircraft.

Although it is not the duty of flight attendants to observe the wings, those who are responsible and conscientious will also make sufficient observations of the surrounding situation.The chain is intertwined, too many accidents are caused by a series of people's carelessness, but if one of them is not fooled, it can be avoided.

"If the deicing doesn't come, there's a high probability that I won't be able to fly." Tong Yixin thought, called the flight attendant who was resting next to him, and pushed the drink cart to deliver another drink.

After a while, the passengers were obviously impatient, and stopped him one by two to ask when he could take off, and some people directly tugged at the sleeves of his uniform.

In fact, everything has to be subject to the airport's arrangements and the air traffic control command. As a flight attendant, Tong Yixin doesn't know much more than the passengers, but he has no choice but to use words over and over again to appease the passengers, but the captain's radio has been delayed. It is expected that no useful information has been obtained from the air traffic control.

"If you can't fly, why arrange passengers to board the plane!" A passenger by the window couldn't sit still anymore, and began to choke, "All my friends who took Hainan Airlines have already taken off!!"

"That's right, if you can't fly, you have to give me an accurate statement. You China Airlines are too irresponsible!" The passenger next to him responded.

Such a long delay, or a red-eye flight, makes everyone feel uncomfortable, holding back their anger, and enduring it with self-cultivation.Once someone clarified and clicked on this lead, more people complained.

"You can't just sit on the plane and waste it!"

"You said earlier, can't you change your visa at the boarding gate!!"

The crew members kept talking about the wheel, with a smile on their faces, but also suffering in their hearts.To be honest, if the plane does not take off, the time spent on duty on the ground is not included in the hourly fee at all. If the flight fails in the end, it will really be a waste of hard work and voluntary labor all night.

The ground staff wanted to drive people onto the plane, and the crew wanted the passengers to wait on the ground. We are all members of China Airlines, and people in different positions have their own ideas. No one wants to face a group of angry passengers.

Tong Yixin was comforting a passenger when he suddenly heard a soft "ding dong". He looked at the pink light above the emergency exit at the end of the aisle, and knew that someone had called his D4L [Note] location.

Seeing that he couldn't leave, another girl in the back cabin helped him pick it up, and after listening to a few words, she hurried over and whispered a few words to Tong Yixin: "It's the flight attendant, the pilot is about to time out, please notify me to prepare for stepdown. "

Tong Yixin: "..."

The flight attendant: "She told us to put our things away first."

Passengers saw them talking and quickly asked, "What's the matter? Is it about to take off?"

Tong Yixin quickly organized words in his heart, trying to beautify the result that everyone had to get off the plane, the captain rescued him in the next second: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have been notified that due to bad weather, this flight has been canceled." Canceled, we will spend the night here, please take your belongings and prepare to get off the plane. We have just been informed that this flight..."

passenger:"……"

After tidying up the rear cabin kitchen, seeing off passengers, and waiting for company arrangements, after a lot of twists and turns, Tong Yixin arrived home at nearly six o'clock and stayed up for a very special big night. Head swollen.

In the winter morning, the cold wind rolled the thin snow, which made the face ache.There was no car on the road in front of the community, and in the overwhelming silence, a light came on at the breakfast shop at the door.

Tong Yixin was really hungry. He carried a suitcase and went in wearing a uniform coat. He ordered a bowl of wontons and a drawer of steamed buns, and put a spoonful of chili in the wontons.

This breakfast shop is run by a husband and wife, and the two of them are busy in the kitchen.It was too early, and Tong Yixin was the only one in the store. He took off his coat, put it on the back of the chair, stared at the steaming white steam of wontons for a while, and suddenly felt a kind of loneliness that penetrated from the bottom of his heart.

This feeling of loneliness can’t be explained because of anything, it’s just an emotion, in the dawn, which is thicker than the night, like a tidal wave coming ashore again and again.

The wonton in his mouth suddenly lost his taste. He took out his mobile phone and opened the video app to find a drama to watch. He used a lively laugh to dilute this feeling.

The mobile phone received a message: [I see your flight has been cancelled, are you going home? 】Yan Xuan sold out his cuteness.

Tong Yixin opened his eyes wide in surprise, and subconsciously looked at the time, it was only six o'clock: [I'm having breakfast downstairs, are you awake? 】

Yan Xuan: [Then wait for me for a while!I was woken up by being licked by this silly dog, and I was so mad, he is going to lose my favor today! 】

Yan Xuan: 【Slow down and eat, I'll dress him up. 】

Tong Yixin smiled, turned off the video software with a swipe of his finger, and put down the phone.Miraculously, that shallow feeling of loneliness disappeared.

Within a few minutes, Yan Xuan was wrapped in a big down jacket, leading the little girl in a red sweater to appear in front of the early shop, and waved sleepily to Tong Yixin: "Good morning." The street lamp left a halo behind him, like golden wings.

He opened the chair and sat across from Tong Yixin, took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun with his chopsticks, chewed it twice, and suddenly said "Oops".Tong Yixin hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

Yan Xuan blinked his eyes awake, looked at Tong Yixin in a daze, and said, "Ah... I forgot to brush my teeth."

"That..." Tong Yixin pointed to the corner of his eyes, hesitated to speak, and said, "You didn't wash your face either."

Yan Xuan took another bite of the steamed stuffed bun, with a look of desperation on his face.

The author says:

[Note 1] There must be regulations on the duty time, but I am not sure whether the name of the ccar is called, anyway, it is based on the International Civil Aviation Convention. Stepdown is called giving up and getting off the plane. It's very strange, so let's call it stepdown.

【Note 2】D4L: DOOR4LEFT. The emergency exit on the left of the fourth row, each emergency exit has a walkie-talkie.

That..."Wuhan Pneumonia" can't be called that, of course, but everyone did call it that at the beginning.I want to write about the living conditions of flight attendants under the epidemic. It may be a little realistic. I hope you will like it!In addition, try not to lose your temper if there is a delay. Everyone is helpless if they can’t control this matter. Safety comes first, and safety is the most important thing! !
