Monster Factory - 958
The Banshee Flying Vehicle was quickly ready, carrying Ye Qing and his party up to the ground.
Zhongyun is just 500 kilometers away from Shezhou City in a straight line, and the Banshee aircraft takes 40 minutes to fly.
It was really boring for Ye Qing to sit in the huge first-class cabin alone, and this trip was also considered to be one of the flights flew by the Banshee Aircraft.
Ye Qing, who had not taken the Banshee commercial flight, ran into the cockpit and sat behind the two pilots Fang Yunxin and Du Wei, watching them drive and play.
Before Fang Yunxin changed his career, he was a fighter pilot for an aviation division in the southwest.
Before Du Wei switched jobs, he was a bomber pilot.
These two were the first batch of pilots recruited by the Giant Beast Industry, and they were also Ye Qing’s exclusive pilots when traveling. Together with them, they were in the United States and experienced threats by F22 fighters.
So Ye Qing knew them very well, and they and Ye Qing could also chat like friends, without too much burden on the superiors and subordinates.
Recently, Skynet Aviation is in short supply of pilots. Ye Qing simply asked them to come here for part-time jobs, and they would come back when he needed to travel.
The salary of part-time jobs is the same as that of other pilots. Fang Yunxin and Du Wei are both 40-year-old veterans. There are old people on board and family under them. They are naturally happy to be able to fly here to earn extra money.
Of course, today is their first day of part-time work.
The two partners only flew the first flight, and they flew to Shezhou with Ye Qing, which was considered the second time.
It was late at night, and the outside of the portholes was dark. Ye Qing looked at the gauges for a while and then chatted, “Lao Fang Lao Du, I remember that you were directly recruited by the company after you passed the training of the commercial aviation school. ”
“The flight you flew today was your first commercial flight with an airline, right?”
“What do you think?”
“I feel that there are too many restrictions, neither this nor that.” Fang Yunxin, who used to fly fighters, said with a smile: “Boss, after I take the commercial license, I will help you fly the Peregrine Falcon. The performance of the Peregrine Falcon is not better than mine. It turned out that the fighter plane was poor, and as soon as it entered the stratosphere, we would fly at supersonic speed.”
“For this commercial flight, the flight manual has always emphasized comfort as the first priority. Even during takeoff, the ascent speed of the fuselage must be reported to the ground tower.”
“My feeling is similar to the old one.” Du Wei added: “Flying Commercial Airlines, I feel that our pilots exist to deal with unexpected situations that may occur. Under normal circumstances, the operation methods of take-off and landing are all To communicate with the tower.”
“There are indeed a lot of restrictions, but it’s easy to drive, so you don’t need to use your brain.”
“Then go for it. Skynet is in urgent need of pilots. Almost all domestic airlines have entrusted headhunting companies to hire people. Captain, three-bar assistant, and now we have two assistants who have just graduated a few years ago. The machines are all digging.”
“Wait~”
Ye Qing was just chatting casually. While chatting, he suddenly thought of an important issue that he had been ignoring.
This question is very important!
“Lao Du, Lao Du, now in the civil aviation department, how many pilots like you have switched jobs from the Air Force?”
“It turned out to be quite a lot. In recent years, civil aviation has focused on commercial aviation schools. Air force pilots want to transfer to civil aviation. It is not as easy as before.”
“Why?” Ye Qing asked strangely: “I think pilots like you who have a lot of fighter piloting experience should be the treasures of various airlines.”
Fang Yun scratched his head and shrugged, “Boss, the main reason is twofold.”
“One is that in the past few years, domestic airlines’ pilot training has become more and more in line with international standards. Those of us who are flying fighters must learn all the training items from the beginning.”
“Everything else is fine, but ICAO English is too torturous.”
“The English we learn in the army is all spoken communication. For example, if you broke into our country’s airspace, please follow our instructions and land at a certain airport, otherwise you will be warned and shot.”
“On the other hand, now that there are more and more aviation schools abroad, airlines are more willing to spend money to send those young people to train.”
“Because we flew fighter planes, there is no accident that we have been flying until the age limit, until the physical fitness does not allow flying. At this time, the age is old, and it takes time to learn civil aviation training from the beginning. After learning to fly, wait for it. By the time the captain, he was almost at retirement age.”
“They send young people for training, and when they return from their studies, their physical fitness is just right in the golden age, and they can work ten or more years longer than us.”
“I see……”
After listening to the Lao Fang’s explanation, Ye Qing also clarified the situation of the Air Force pilot’s transfer to civil aviation.
Air force and civil aviation pilots have very different training and learning content. The air force is more like an F1 racer, while civil aviation pilots drive buses. Of course there is no problem for the racer to drive the bus.
Maybe these racers in the early stage can easily bring some of the small habits that they have developed when driving a car into the bus. Passengers’ experience will be much worse, and they will feel that the driver is driving very hard.
But when they encounter an emergency, they can definitely handle it faster and better than ordinary bus drivers.
Airlines are also willing to recruit these air force pilots, as long as they can pass the operational training. But with more and more foreign aviation schools recruiting pilots, it is obviously not as cost-effective for them to spend money to send college graduates for training.
At least young people can work more than ten years.
The wages paid are also lower than those of pilots who have switched jobs.
The problem of the number of pilots of Skynet Airlines seems to usher in the dawn.
Ye Qing and Chang Wanyu have always focused on civil aviation pilots, but ignored another extremely large group of air force pilots in China.
Fighter aircraft, transport aircraft, helicopters.
These Air Force pilots have reached the restricted age set by the Air Force and cannot withstand the high overload of military aircraft, but they can fly into civil aviation without any problems.
During the chat, Fang Yunxin said that he had withstood an overload of up to 9 Gs when he started the fighter. In the face of an overload of 9 Gs, he can still grit his teeth and persist. If you are an ordinary civil aviation pilot, you will be fainted directly in front of 9 G overloads, and there is no second possibility.
Ye Qing asked him again, where air force pilots would go after they had been flying.
Fang Yunxin thought that the boss was worried about the life problems of Air Force pilots after retirement, so he laughed and said that these pilots are still popular after retirement.
They can go to the ground and serve as commanders, or they can be drone pilots.
If they stay in the army, the army certainly welcomes them. If you want to change jobs to a place and have more time to reunite with your wife and children, you can also go to the airline.
Airlines are now focusing their recruitment on young people, but as long as they can pass the training, they still have no worries about work.
Not all flights of airlines are smooth sailing.
Most of the routes of high-altitude areas, complicated air routes, and war-risk countries are flown by their demobilized air force pilots.
Only in recent years, airlines have begun to pick and choose, and have more options. There are more pilots remaining in the army, and high-paid civil aviation is no longer the first choice.
Ye Qing has a solution.
He wants to catch all those air force pilots who want to switch to civil aviation.
ICAO English can be learned slowly in the future. In Skynet Aviation, it is not a required assessment standard. Besides, this group of highly selected Air Force elites, as long as it takes time, ICAO English is not a stumbling block.
The ICAO English certificate is an assessment of the English level of international civil aviation wireless communication. Civil aviation pilots must learn it, but it can only be used when flying international flights.
Banshee aircraft does not fly international routes.
After confirming the idea, Ye Qing immediately contacted Chang Wanyu by satellite phone and asked her to list the retired air force pilot as a key recruitment target.
There are acquaintances in the Air Force. It must be easier to recruit people from here than from major airlines.
…
Forty minutes after takeoff, the Banshee aircraft arrived over the Shezhou Airport.
It has been snowing for several days in Shezhou City, and the heavy snow occasionally stops. Shezhou’s airport cannot meet the demand for aircraft landing, so it can only remove snow and ice quickly, allowing the aircraft stranded in the airport to seize the time window to take off.
Fortunately, the Shezhou Airport is only a small airport in Hui Province, and there is also a railway as a supplement, which has not caused more serious troubles to passengers.
But this is the Spring Festival, and the difficulty of buying tickets is particularly obvious here.
The Banshee aircraft does not need to consider taxiing, nor does it need to consider the reduction in lift caused by the icing of the wings.
In heavy snowy weather, the Banshee aircraft directly broke through the clouds and landed in the airport parking area accompanied by heavy snow.
The hatch opened, and Ye Qing, dressed in a handsome leather jacket, shuddered in less than five seconds after he was just playing handsome.
“I…I rely on the local temperature.”
“It’s twelve degrees below zero, and the wind is at level 5.” The flight attendant Su Bing quickly took a coat and put it on Ye Qing. She stood at the door of the cabin, and she could hear the wind and snow outside.
