Naturally, Motiejunas and Gilchrist did not know that in the following years, the performance of the Boeing 787 passenger plane completely confirmed Fang Mingyuan's judgment. Although the passenger plane successfully rolled off the assembly line in July, its flight performance

, but it was a series of twists and turns, postponed again and again, until two years later, at the end of 2009, after five postponements, it successfully flew into the blue sky! Because the flight had to be postponed

Within two years, the schedule for delivering passenger aircraft to airlines was naturally disrupted. For this reason, Boeing later had to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation for orders for hundreds of passenger aircraft that could not be delivered on time.

One plane compensated the airline for millions of dollars!

After the Boeing 787 passenger plane was officially put into commercial operation, it did not escape the tragic fate of constant failures, which made Boeing very anxious. It was even required to be grounded by the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board.

It became an important stain in the short history of the 787 passenger aircraft after it was put into operation.

After Motiejunas arrived in the United States, he also mentioned at the Boeing Board of Directors that every component of the Boeing 787 passenger aircraft should be strictly reviewed to ensure that it is fault-free after leaving the factory and meets the predetermined design goals. However, at Boeing, his proposal

, did not receive much attention from many people. If it were not for the fact that he brought Kowloon Airlines’ intention to purchase ten 787 passenger aircraft, I am afraid that someone on the board of directors would have made bad remarks at that time. This is because Boeing’s original plan was to purchase the aircraft in 2020.

In the first half of 2008, the first 787 passenger aircraft was delivered to Japan's All Nippon Airways. Japan's All Nippon Airways plans to use it on routes to the Chinese capital to meet the needs of the surge in overseas tourists due to the hosting of the Olympic Games. At the same time,

It is also a promotion for Japan’s All Nippon Airways.

Moreover, Japan's All Nippon Airways is a famous customer of Boeing 787 passenger aircraft. It ordered up to fifty aircraft at one time, with a total amount of more than six billion US dollars! The Boeing 787 passenger aircraft was able to successfully obtain a large number of orders. It has to be admitted that Japan's All Nippon Airways

Large orders from airlines also play a very strong role in promoting the situation.

However, due to the inability to deliver certain parts in time during the development process of the 787 passenger aircraft, and the employee strikes at Boeing during this period, the original plan to fly in July this year had to be changed to the end of the year. If we want to follow the

Motiejunas means that if the Boeing 787 is subject to stricter scrutiny, its flight time will undoubtedly be postponed. In this case, not to mention that the aircraft will be delivered in the first half of 2008. 2008

Whether it can be delivered in 2018 is unknown. In this case, Boeing will face huge claims. So how can these directors of Boeing take the time to let technicians conduct strict and detailed inspections of the aircraft?

However, the backfired results made those directors who insisted on the original plan disgraced, and Motiejunas's voice in Boeing's board of directors was greatly strengthened.

The impact of this incident on Gilchrist is not small. GE Capital Aviation Services is also an important customer of Boeing aircraft. Thirty-five of Boeing's 787 orders are from GE Capital Aviation Services.

, because of Fang Mingyuan's words, Gilchrist became more cautious. After going there, he ordered his subordinates to make an emergency plan in case the Boeing 787 passenger plane could not be delivered on time. Although later, due to the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, these three

The failure to deliver fifteen Boeing 787s on time had a much lower impact on GE Capital Aviation Services, but it gave Gilchrist another layer of understanding of Fang Mingyuan's vision.

This incident undoubtedly made Motiejunas and Gilchrist's attention to Fang Mingyuan's thoughts and opinions go to a higher level in the future. Of course, these are all things for another day.

The off-line ceremony of the Boeing 717 passenger plane, also known as the md95 passenger plane, started on time at 10:30. As a brand-new passenger plane was pulled by a tractor, it slowly drove out of the factory and was parked in the factory area.

On the tarmac, there were firecrackers and thunderous cheers for a while. In addition to Guo Qingshan, the officials attending the ceremony also included important leaders of relevant ministries and commissions of the central government, including the main leaders of Qinxi Province and Fengyuan City.

Many officials from other prefectures and cities in the province also attended the ceremony. Su Aijun, the governor of Qinxi Province, and Li Dongxing, the top leader of Fengyuan City, also showed their faces at the ceremony, which also made a significant mark on their resumes.

.

Also present at the ceremony were representatives from many domestic airlines and partners of Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group, including Boeing, GE Capital Aviation Services, GE Aircraft Motives, Rolls-Royce

The most eye-catching representatives of overseas manufacturers such as Sri Lanka Air Engine Company, International Air Engine Company, and International Leasing Finance Company. Although representatives of Airbus did not appear, people generally believe that this is because md95 belongs to Qinxi Airlines

The result of the cooperation between the manufacturing group and Boeing, just like the Boeing representative did not show up at the opening ceremony of Airbus's A32o assembly line in Jincheng.

At the ceremony, it was also announced that the former president of Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group, Skelkid Gilchrist, had retired. The current vice president, Zhang Shuqing, would take over as the second president of Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group. Ling Qianlai

Many people who watched the ceremony regretted that although they knew that Fang Mingyuan must have attended the ceremony, he did not appear in public, which disappointed many people who wanted to take this opportunity to see his true face in Lushan.

After the ceremony, more than 50 guests were invited to board the plane and had a flight experience of only 20 minutes. Then the md95 passenger plane will be officially taken over by Qinxi Airlines.

What followed was a grand celebration banquet. What surprised Blues and He Zhongping was that the venue of the banquet was not a large hotel, but a canteen in the Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group factory that could accommodate four to five hundred people.

Here, there are 14 representatives of these domestic private airlines, and they are arranged at two tables on the side. This is helpless. Of course, among these guests, they cannot compare with those officials.

They cannot be compared with representatives of overseas companies such as Motyjunas. Even among their airline counterparts, they are lower than those state-owned airlines.

The food and wine prepared were quite sumptuous, including chicken, duck, fish, and a lot of seafood. Especially the big lobster on the table, which looked like it was not a bargain at first glance, and the taste of the dishes was also very good, obviously.

Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group does not use the canteen's master chef, but hires external chefs. However, most people are not thinking about eating and drinking.

"My biggest personal feeling is that the gap between the seats of the MD95 passenger aircraft is relatively large. For tall people, there is no feeling of embarrassment, and the size of its luggage is larger than that of similar types of passenger aircraft." These private airlines

Seven of the company representatives were lucky enough to become flight experiencers. As a result, they became the people at the same table to consult about their flying experience.

"Quiet, haven't you noticed that when the MD95 passenger plane is flying, the cabin is quite quiet, unlike other aircraft where you can always hear some noise." Someone said, "I think this is very quiet.

important."

"I think the fact that it has its own passenger elevator is very unique. For those low-level airports, it can save a lot of trouble." Another person said, "I saw it written in the information provided by Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group.

It can even load and unload its cargo by itself, and it does not need a lift when refueling. The skilled ground staff can complete its preparations for takeoff in thirty minutes." Blues and He Zhongping sat aside, watching with a smile.

Discuss with peers.

The two of them were also lucky enough to experience the experience on the plane. They had a discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of md95 on the plane. They concluded that as long as the price can be lower than 10% of similar products, then use md95 to undertake regional flight missions?

It has quite a few advantages. Not to mention anything else, it can save airlines a lot of costs just in terms of the convenience of repair and maintenance.

"Did you know that Kowloon Airlines has a pilot training school in Western Australia, which can now train 800 qualified students every year. The pilot students recruited by Qinxi Airlines and Kowloon Airlines are all trained there.

, it seems that several state-owned airlines now send people to study there." Blues lowered his voice and said, "At this rate, in a few years, the pilots of Qinxi Airlines will not be so nervous." Lack of enough.

Pilots are a common pain among domestic airlines, including those state-owned airlines. Compared with state-owned airlines, the pain for private airlines is even more acute. In order to have enough pilots, they have to

Do not pay more than double the salary of state-owned airlines to attract those pilots.

"Eight hundred! So many?" He Zhongping couldn't help being surprised. He knew that Qinxi Airlines had its own pilot training institution, but he didn't expect that so many students could graduate every year. Although these students

You still need to continue a series of training, and it will take you five to seven years to work for an airline before you can become a qualified captain, but there is hope after all.

"Well, I heard that some of them are Australian locals, and not all of them are from us." Blues said in a low voice.

"Oh, it's good to have money!" He Zhongping said with a wry smile. Kowloon Airlines is a large airline jointly invested and established by many wealthy Hong Kong companies. It is now the second largest airline in Hong Kong, in addition to major airlines from Hong Kong to China.

In addition to city routes, there are also a large number of overseas routes. Although I don’t know the specific profit status without being listed on the market, I will definitely not lose money.

"I don't know if we can discuss it with the people from Qinxi Airlines and help us train a group of students." Lan Diao said, "Look, the chairman of Qinxi Airlines is over there." He pointed while saying this

He looked at the table not far away where representatives of major state-owned airlines were seated.

"Excuse me, are these two Mr. He Zhongping, chairman of Dongxing Airlines Co., Ltd., and Mr. Blues, chairman of British Airways Co., Ltd.?" A man's voice suddenly came from behind, startling Blues. Only then did the two of them notice.

I don’t know when a middle-aged man stood a step away from the two of them. This man they had just met. He should be a middle-level cadre in Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group who was responsible for receiving guests. Both of them had already thought of his name.

Can't get up.

"Ah, here we are, what can I do for you?" He Zhongping asked.

"If you two don't have any plans tonight, our General Manager Ma of Qinxi Airlines would like to meet you two. I don't know if I would be honored." The middle-aged man said in a low voice.

"General Manager Ma Xiaoyi?" He Zhongping asked in surprise. The chairman of Qinxi Airlines was sent by the major shareholder Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group, but he was only in name and did not have much interference in the daily operations of Qinxi Airlines. General Manager Ma Xiaoyi

He is the actual controller of the daily operations of Qinxi Airlines.

"Well, Qinxi Airlines only has one CEO, Ma." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"No problem, what time tonight? Where?" Blues asked quickly. If it weren't for a public place, he would have jumped up with excitement. He was originally thinking about how to communicate with Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group or Qinxi Aviation

The company's management men and soldiers talked to them, and unexpectedly, their wish came true. Ma Xiaoyi actually wanted to meet them. The middle-aged man whispered a time and place to the two of them, said goodbye, and left without attracting the attention of others.

"Master Fang, do you have anything else to give me?" At this time, Ma Xiaoyi was sitting across from Fang Mingyuan in a box in the cafeteria.

"Well, that's the main thing. When you talk to them, you have to control the proportion. Don't let people think that we just want to pick peaches. We must emphasize that it is a cooperation between both parties and let them understand what they can get from it." Fang Mingyuan said.

Waving his hands.

"Yes, Mr. Fang, please rest assured. With their little assets and influence in the industry, cooperation with us will definitely bring more benefits than disadvantages to them." Ma Xiaoyi said with a smile, "There are no less than ten airlines today.

The representative is getting closer to me here."

"That's good, hey, that's right!" Fang Mingyuan clapped his hands and said, "I almost forgot. Just now I heard Director Guo mention that the major shareholder of Okai Airlines seems to have some financial problems and intends to transfer his shares.

Shares, you can take care of this matter."

"Yes!" Ma Xiaoyi replied knowingly. (To be continued.)
