Chapter 29 Set sail
At about six o'clock in Peking time, the sun, which had been wanton for a day, finally reached the horizon helplessly.
Although the sky was a little dark just now, the runway lights on Nanyuan Airport have been turned on. The bright yellow light not only reveals the gray-white runway outline and the flight sign, but also the entire airport seems to be bathed in the afterglow of the sunset.
At the airport's No. 7 apron, a F14 fighter jet painted in gold and red colors is constantly moving its wings, tail wings and other moving parts, performing the final inspection before takeoff.
Fan Ximei glanced at Tang Wan, who was staring at the cockpit of the F14 fighter jet, and sighed quietly.
Fan Ximei, the current president, was extremely impressed by the fact that Mr. Tang was in front of him.
In the Republic in the 1980s, the older generation of revolutionaries had not yet withdrawn from their leadership positions. Although few people dared to slap tables at the State Council for official business, they were not extinct. However, Fan Ximei, who really dared to fundamentally transform the current management system and never saw it.
Even in the new century with a very developed market economy, the aviation service industry was considered a relatively popular profession. In the late 1980s, it was not uncommon for the children of department-level and even ministerial-level cadres to work in the aviation service industry.
Since United Airlines is in Peking, the main base is the same as the so-called "First Division" of the Republic Air Force, the 74th Transporter, and the connection between the two is even more closely related.
In the 1985th year when United Airlines was just established, one-third of the retired personnel of the 74th Transporter was transferred directly to United Airlines' working group. It can be said that since the first day of its establishment, United Airlines has naturally become an excellent place for many cadres and children to have mixed qualifications. They can stay in Beijing or stay in Beijing, and work without any brains. There are really not many better jobs than United Airlines in the 1980s.
No matter how well United Airlines' work looks, in essence, airlines are the service industry. Although the good and bad of cadres cannot be generalized, it is no different to expect a group of old men who are pampered in the 74th transporter to serve passengers with all their hearts and strengths. Implementing the will of customers is God.
In 1989, United Airlines had 11 propeller passenger aircraft such as Y-7, Y-8, and An-26. The Air Force allocated four Trident jet passenger aircraft for medium and short-distance transportation. It opened up many routes such as Wusong, Guangzhou, Qingdao, Shengjing, Dalian, Wuhan, Nanjing and Chengdu.
However, except for Wusong and Guangzhou is Japan Airlines, most of the flights in other places are twice a week or once a week.
Although Republic Airlines in the 1980s did not make any complaints, there was a system of follow-up visits such as private opinions and passenger letters after United Airlines was established. After Tang Wan took over United Airlines, she read in detail all the operating service feedback records of United Airlines in the past two years.
The routes between big cities like Wusong and Guangzhou are better. On branch routes like Dalian and Qingdao, which carry the main customer groups that go to Beijing for services, can be described as resentment.
A transferred flight attendant from the 74th transporter. In just two years, he had physical conflicts with passengers. What's even more strange is that the flight attendant was just promoted to flight attendant two months ago.
Tang Wan raised her butcher knife after careful investigation for all kinds of inactions and fallacies in personnel matters.
At the first general meeting of United Airlines, Tang Wanfang said that except for her position as chairman, all the remaining employees of United Airlines were retrained, from deputy general managers to front-line flight attendants.
Two years ago, when Liang Yuan transformed the railway service atmosphere for his own son, the training team from Cathay Pacific, Hong Kong was found by Tang Wan. In addition, Tang Wan also hired an expert group from Thailand Airlines, which is well-known for its high-quality services, to provide guidance on management, market opinions, flight attendant training and other services for United Airlines.
Half a year later, in the business assessment after the Lunar New Year, Tang Wan cleared out more than two-fifths of United Airlines' employees in the name of transferring jobs, and then opened up the recruitment quota to the public.
Large state-owned enterprises, especially popular large state-owned enterprises, are openly recruiting employees in large quantities. This news is very popular even if it is thrown into the 21st century, not to mention the republic in the 1980s.
What was even more shocking was that while Tang Wan was recruiting, she carried out a fundamental transformation of the management of United Airlines. With the help of the formal implementation of the Republic's "Election Law" and "Local Organization Law" (Note 1), and the more open-minded political atmosphere at that time, Tang Wan began to implement large-scale management differences recommendations at United Airlines.
That is, the board of directors over-nominates the management of United Airlines, and all employees vote on the nominees. The number of votes determines who will serve as senior management of United Airlines.
Unlike the promotion of equal promotion of managers who became popular a few years later, the difference recommendation is a pit of multiple radish competition. In later generations, Prime Minister Wu Yi, the iron lady of the Republic, who was well-known to everyone in the future, defeated many competitors through difference recommendations when he was in politics and successfully passed the barrier of department-level cadres.
Once the news of being able to enter a highly qualified company through open channels, the news of United Airlines recruiting employees from the public was released in the officialdom of Peking, and the public caused huge waves.
No less than that of the nude murals of the Wave Festival in Beijing who were suitable for the capital, they collectively visited the capital airport's nude murals. At least half of the nude men and women of the qualifying age in Peking participated in United Airlines' recruitment plan.
Within a one-month registration period, United Airlines received more than 80,000 job applications for the position of flight attendant alone.
A few days before signing up for "gaochao", the temporary registration location borrowed by United Airlines was squeezed out of reach of 60,000 people. Peking TV station instantly reported this week that the recruitment wave caused by United Airlines was triggered.
Given that Tang Wan's background is strong enough, Ning Lei's career market is bullish, and Tang Wan cleaned up hundreds of veteran United Airlines employees not long ago, so there are very few people who dare to hand in hand over the bill this time. At least Fan Ximei, who works with Tang Wan every day, did not notice it at all.
Of course, Tang Wan can implement all this cleanly and neatly, and the greatest confidence is that the eight BAC1-11 passenger planes from Romania. Except for four of these eight BAC1-11 passenger planes from Romanian civil aviation, the other four are newly produced passenger planes. The average age of the entire fleet has not exceeded three years.
Tang Wan has only been in office for a year, and without using a lot of funds, she expanded United Airlines' jet fleet from four to twelve. At this time, United Airlines was enough to build the shelves of a backbone airline.
Not long ago, almost all the civil aviation resources of the Republic were concentrated, and the number of jet passenger aircraft established by China International Airlines was less than fifty.
Especially with the relocation of the BAC1-11 passenger aircraft production line, Romania has transferred some of the production materials of eleven BAC1-11 passenger aircraft. If Yuan Glenn successfully assembled these eleven passenger aircraft, United Airlines' jet fleet will be expanded to thirty-three. This fleet of fleet is similar to that of Air China's domestic routes.
With almost no national investment, Tang Wan created another Air China out of thin air with her own strength. This performance is the greatest support for Tang Wan to rectify United Airlines and suppress all opposition.
For United Airlines managers like Fan Ximei, who came from social recruitment and had no background, Tang Wan is the biggest reason for changing her life trajectory and is also Tang Wan's most staunch supporter at United Airlines.
"General Tang, the fighter jet painting of the division Ning looks so beautiful." Fan Ximei knew that Ning Lei would go to the United States to participate in exchanges. The voyage was longer than ten thousand miles away, and it was unique in the history of the Republic's Air Force. It is inevitable that Tang Wan was in a difficult mood. Fan Ximei disconnected the topic and was considerate.
"I heard Jia Jia and Feifei mention it several times, saying that tigers cannot beat Phoenix. Could this painting be designed by Jia Jia and Feifei?" Fan Ximei asked with a chuckling.
When he heard Fan Ximei mention the twins, a smile appeared from the corner of Tang Wan's mouth.
"The two girls thought that the original paint of Ning Lei landline was too rustic. When they arrived in the United States, they were afraid that they could not suppress the tiger paint of other fighter planes participating in the exchange. They encouraged Ning Lei to change the paint from the New Year."
"After Ning Lei confirmed to go to the United States, the two girls waited until the new painting was finalized before they could travel to Hong Kong with peace of mind. Now it's really nice to see this painting."
Although Tang Wan was clear and certain, the meaning of the F14 fighter's Phoenix painting was made by two girls.
"Command Center, Yuanhang Yaodong Knot (1007) is ready, the camera is 152, request to release." Ning Lei's low voice floated in the cockpit full of dark green light.
"The command center will release it."
"Command Center. Yuanhangyaodongkengkeng (1007) requested IFR permission to go to Putenjian Airport in Yiyewan, Ryukyu, with a planned height of 12,000 meters." Ning Lei applied for an air control permit with the ground tower of Henanyuan Airport.
"1007, the command center received it, please wait."
"1007, the permit is released to Futenma Airport in Ryukyu Yiyewan, and the flight is as planned. It is expected to use the runway 11L and SOSDI01DRNA to leave the field. The cruise altitude is 12,000 meters. The departure frequency is 119.0. The transponder is 2500. Please repeat it." The sound of the airport tower notifying the release of the permit is a smile that cannot be suppressed.
"The permit is released to Futenma Airport in Yiyewan, Ryukyu, and the flight is as planned. It is expected to use runway 11L and SOSDI01DRNA to leave the field. The cruise altitude is 12,000 meters. The departure frequency is 119.0. The transponder is 2500, and the long-distance 1007 has been repeated."
"1007. Command center, the machine head is east, the wind direction is 220 degrees and 5 knots, the pressure is 1003, the temperature is 22"
"Received, 1007 began to glide." Ning Lei, who received the latest airport weather information, slowly pushed the joystick, and the two engines made a huge roar, and the F14 fighter began to speed up.
In a blink of an eye, Tang Wan, standing under the tower wearing a purple dress, passed by Ning Lei's visual edge. With a strong sense of pushing back, the fighter rose up and left Nanyuan Airport behind.
“1007, a good journey.”
"Goodbye to Command Center."
