February 14, 2009, Valentine's Day!

On the Internet and traditional media, the incident of the Caiyun Airlines passenger plane returning has caused an uproar in China, and the entire civil aviation system has been shaken. On February 13, there were a total of 17 Caiyun Airlines flights to Caiyun Province.

Passenger planes that did not land and return accounted for two-thirds of the total number of Caiyun Airlines flights to Caiyun Province that day! This was only later. After the management of Caiyun Airlines noticed the abnormality and took immediate action, the remaining flights landed normally.

The final result!

Initially, Caiyun Airlines wanted to conceal the incident and explain the incident on the grounds that weather factors were not conducive to a safe landing. However, the subsequent reactions caused by this incident, including strong protests from passengers on these flights, made

The whole incident cannot be suppressed at all! Other domestic airlines are also secretly stumbling upon Caiyun Airlines. Caiyun Airlines is a local airline in Caiyun Province and occupies the largest share of the aviation market in Caiyun Province. These colleagues are very happy to see it being taken over by the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

To impose penalties, it would be best to ground some flights to give up more market share.

The impact of the global economic crisis on the aviation market has gradually emerged. Although the price of crude oil in the international market has fallen sharply, which has relieved the major airlines that have been plagued by high oil prices, the occupancy rate has continued to decline.

The decline has also made the management of major airlines almost feel worried. All major airlines are making adjustments, on the one hand to reduce the company's operating costs, and on the other hand, to introduce various preferential measures to attract traveling passengers.

It can be said that the competition for passenger sources by major airlines has tended to be indiscriminate! Caiyun Province is also a major tourism province in the country. It receives a large number of tourists from home and abroad every year, so it has naturally become a competition for passengers by major airlines.

One of the key markets of Caiyun Province. This time Caiyun Airlines "defeated its martial arts", how could these peers miss the rare opportunity to expand their share of the aviation market in Caiyun Province?

Therefore, at noon today, the person in charge of Caiyun Airlines has tactfully admitted that the large number of Caiyun Airlines passenger planes not landing and returning is a vicious man-made case. Caiyun Airlines will severely punish the occurrence of this incident.

Relevant personnel involved. As for why this kind of thing happened on Caiyun Airlines flights, and why the crew members of these flights did what they did, the person in charge of Caiyun Airlines who was interviewed was very concerned.

Fang Mingyuan turned off the TV casually. In fact, without asking, Fang Mingyuan could guess the general reason for the Caiyun Airlines passenger plane's return incident. In the final analysis, it must be the result of the conflict between labor and management reaching an irreconcilable stage and exploding. Fang Mingyuan

He owns Qinxi Airlines and Kowloon Airlines. Although he is not involved in direct operation management, he still needs to read the reports of these two companies, and he also needs to understand the overall situation in the industry.

Speaking of airliner pilots, most people would think that this is a rich and handsome profession. You can fly around the country and abroad, be accompanied by beautiful and young stewardesses, and earn much more than ordinary people. Not to mention how lucrative your life is.

But in fact, the profession of airline pilot is not as beautiful as most people think. The bitterness and suffering in it are only covered up by the gorgeous appearance.

The income is indeed high compared to normal people, with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of yuan. It can be said that it is not uncommon, but this is based on the captain's salary. For example, the co-pilot's salary will drop a lot.

, and to become a qualified captain, it will take four to five years to train as a student. After graduating from the aviation school, the students must also accept the technical level examination supervised by the airline and the regional administration. If they pass the examination

This is just the pilot's license. And even if students join an airline after graduation, they still need to use a simulator at the airline to conduct aircraft transfer training, and then transfer to on-site training. They need to use a real aircraft to do at least 2o

Taking off and landing, and in order to stagger the normal flights during the day, are mainly carried out from 12 midnight to 6 am, or the plane is transferred to an airport with less traffic. After passing this training, you can officially get on the plane. However,

To become a qualified captain, you have to go through many stages. Even if everything goes smoothly, it will not take five to seven years before you can become a captain. But if something happens in the middle and you make some mistakes, you will not be able to become a captain.

Or whatever, it’s not surprising that I couldn’t become a captain after ten or eight years.

Moreover, the salaries of captains and co-pilots generally consist of three parts: basic salary, flight time and various subsidies. That is to say, the longer you fly every month, the higher your income will be.

From this perspective, he is actually a bit like a taxi driver. However, the flight time cannot be extended at will. According to the regulations of the Civil Aviation Administration, after flying for a certain period of time, you must take a rest. However, many domestic companies have given full play to

The so-called domestic characteristics have been exploited to the extreme, and the stipulated vacation system has been almost eliminated under the pretext of pilots' flexible work system. Even if some companies have clearly defined the vacation system, the actual application is often unable to do so due to various reasons.

The approval was granted in name only, causing extreme fatigue among the flight crews.

Moreover, if the captain does not have a good rest, or if his mood fluctuates greatly, he is not suitable for flying. Because flying is a high-intensity job, although in movies and TV series, those captains seem to be

They are all quite leisurely, but in fact, the captain and co-pilot have to do a lot of work, which is unique to their profession. The work intensity and pressure as well as various occupational injuries are very high. This is why many insurance companies

The reason why projects all list pilots as a career category that is prohibited from purchase.

And once it goes to the sky, the lives of hundreds or even hundreds of people, including the crew members, are all in the hands of the captain and co-pilot. If nothing goes wrong, it is very likely that everyone on the plane will be killed if something goes wrong.

They were all killed! This puts a great deal of psychological pressure on pilots that ordinary people cannot understand. This also makes the average life span of pilots lower than the average life span in China.

The most important thing is that the contracts between domestic passenger pilots and these airlines are basically lifelong. It can be said that as long as you join this airline, unless it is a merger between companies, or you get

Otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to change jobs to other airlines midway without the company's permission! The protection originally used to protect workers from the employer's arbitrary termination of contracts has become a tool used by airlines to prevent pilots from resigning.

Therefore, considering many factors such as the difficulty of obtaining captain qualifications and the current scarcity of qualified captains in China, such a high salary is reasonable.

Qinxi Airlines has a state-owned background and its own mission, while the establishment of Kowloon Airlines has political significance and is in Hong Kong, so there are not many restrictions on recruiting pilots. But even so,

When Qinxi Airlines was first established, it went through a lot of troubles to get enough pilots. In the early days, it had to hire a lot of foreign pilots, and at the same time, it recruited its own students and sent them to foreign aviation schools to study. This kind of

The situation was not relieved until the Perth General Flight Service Company in Australia was launched. Now, the trainees graduating from Perth General Flight Service Company every year have been able to fully meet the requirements for pilots of Qinxi Airlines and Kowloon Airlines.

To meet the needs, pilots in the two major companies now basically no longer use foreign pilots, except for some special international routes. The domestic air transport industry has been developing rapidly in recent years, with a large number of new aircraft joining every year.

When you join the fleets of major airlines, the demand for pilots will naturally become stronger. And without enough pilots, even if there are more planes, they can only park on the ground! Therefore, major airlines

The company is extremely intolerant of its own drivers changing jobs.

With the liberalization of the civil aviation industry to private capital, many private airlines have emerged in recent years, and most of the pilots of these private airlines are poached from major airlines with high salaries, and some even

Yu was able to offer pilots twice the salary of their original employer! This has caused quite a negative impact in the country, and there have also been cases of airlines demanding sky-high compensation for pilots who switched jobs.

In Fang Mingyuan's view, in the final analysis, the domestic aviation talent training mechanism is not perfect. There are too few sources of civilian airliner pilots, and they can basically only rely on a small number of college graduates and retired military pilots every year. This is not the case in domestic aviation.

During the period when the industry was developing slowly, there were no problems. However, once the entire industry developed rapidly, pilot transportation could not keep up. And this is due to the fact that the civil aviation management agency did not have enough foresight and has an unshirkable responsibility.

"Mingyuan, judging from the news we have received so far, the Caiyun Airlines flight return incident will happen sooner or later." Angelina sat next to him, put a stack of information in front of Fang Mingyuan and said,

"High work pressure, remuneration that is lower than the industry average, massive arrears of wages, benefits, and subsidies, poor communication channels, incompetence of management and many other factors, coupled with the obvious decline in the company's performance in the second half of last year, have caused

Caiyun Airlines is like a powder keg that may explode at any time. The flight return incident is a leak after the pilots’ dissatisfaction with the company reaches a certain level!”

Fang Mingyuan nodded slightly. If the dissatisfaction hadn't reached an extremely strong level, how could it be possible that the captains and co-pilots of so many flights were involved in this matter? Moreover, the management of Caiyun Airlines was actually able to get involved before.

Nothing is known about this. This shows that either these pilots are well organized, or the management of Caiyun Airlines is really incompetent, and he is more inclined to the latter factor.

Some time ago, the incident in which a pilot who quit his job was sued for tens of millions of dollars by his original employer was a hot topic in the media. It also shocked many pilots who were thinking of quitting. It is estimated that the management of Caiyun Airlines also feels that they can sit back and relax from now on, so for its

The pilots' attention also decreased.

"The Civil Aviation Administration of China is now investigating the matter. It is said that the leading pilot will be banned from driving for life! At the same time, Caiyun Airlines is also punished. It will cut the number of flights and fine it 1.5 million yuan!" Anjie

Lina said.

"A fine of 1.5 million yuan? Hehe!" Fang Mingyuan sneered twice. 1.5 million yuan is indeed a huge sum of money for ordinary people, but for airlines, especially Caiyun Airlines

For state-owned airlines, that is a joke. If a pilot changes jobs, they can offer tens of millions for training fees, so what is 1.5 million yuan?

"Mingyuan, are they considered a strike?" Angelina asked, "By the way, does your country allow strikes?" She has been in China for many years, and she seems to have never seen many strikes. And in Europe

, industry strikes have become a common occurrence, and even airline staff going on strike is nothing surprising.

"The previous constitution stipulated that workers have the right to strike, but the later constitution abolished this provision. However, according to the principle of no crime if the law does not expressly prohibit it, it is allowed in theory, but of course it is only in theory." Fang Mingyuan shrugged.

He didn't know whether the actions of the pilots of Caiyun Airlines were considered a strike, but at least they were passive and sabotage. For example, last year, more than 40 captains of an airline asked for sick leave at the same time. As a result, the company's leaders had to go into battle in person and even

Canceling a large number of flights would be more like a strike.

"Only in theory?" Angelina seemed to understand.

"By the way, please inform Qinxi Airlines and Kowloon Airlines. If the media or higher-up departments ask us for our views on this matter, please don't talk nonsense. Well, first of all, we must criticize Caiyun Airlines for its response to those who were involved in the return flight incident.

Passengers whose interests have been harmed are not taken care of enough and adequate compensation should be given. Secondly, we express regret and disapproval of these pilots for taking such actions. Thirdly, let me emphasize that the reasons for this incident are complicated.

, we cannot simply punish the people involved, we must truly find out the reasons behind this incident, and we do not agree with imposing a lifetime driving ban on the pilot who took the lead. Moreover, if it is possible,

We are willing to receive these pilots at reasonable transfer fees." Fang Mingyuan stood up and said, "Get ready, there are still many things to do today."

Tian Zhanshan walked out of the office of the head of the flight department of Caiyun Airlines with an angry look on his face. He was one of the initiators of the return incident and was also the captain of the first return flight. He had just arrived after retiring from the army.

He works for Caiyun Airlines and is one of the first batch of pilots after the establishment of Caiyun Airlines. He can be said to be the veteran employee of Caiyun Airlines. Most of the other pilots who worked for Caiyun Airlines with him have now been transferred or

When it comes to improvement, only a few people are still flying on the front line.

"Brother Tian, ​​how did the talks with the company... break down again?" He didn't go far when a man in his thirties jumped out of the office next to the corridor and followed behind him.

"Well, those bastards don't want to really solve the problem at all, they just want to shirk responsibility!" Tian Zhanshan suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "What are you talking about with me? The legitimate needs of us pilots should be raised through normal channels.

Instead of taking such drastic action, I was asked to make a formal public self-criticism at the company meeting and ask the company to deal with it leniently! Fart, I can't forgive those passengers, I admit it! But I can't say I'm sorry to the company.

Accept it!" He has worked hard in the company for so many years. Didn't he tell the company's management through formal channels that there was already a lot of resentment against the company's management among the pilots? He didn't tell these people about the labor union.

Is the event in name only? Didn’t he say that these pilots have been flying tired for a long time? He said it well, but no one heard it! Now that I think about it, I need to go through formal channels!

"Hiss..." Qian Zhiyi took a breath of cold air, Tian Zhanshan's anger was not ordinary.

Qian Zhiyi put his arm around Tian Zhanshan's shoulders and said: "Brother Tian, ​​I heard that the bureau plans to impose a lifelong ban on flying the leading pilot. If you and the company cannot ease the relationship, I'm afraid they will use you as a scapegoat.

Otherwise, you can write a self-review and excuse me, and I'll go up and read it. Anyway, everyone knows in their hearts who is right and who is wrong here. To be honest, with the virtue of our company, if it weren't for the good ground staff,

They couldn’t help but replace it!”

"If you go up and read it, it's not my review. Even if everyone in the company understands, what about outsiders, do you still have to explain it one by one? People will only see that we bow our heads, and if we bow our heads, it is our fault.

!" Tian Zhanshan said angrily, "In my life, I have never reflected on a mistake that was not my own! Besides, in the future, what will colleagues and outsiders think of us? Anyway, I have thought about it, and it is not a lifelong ban.

Well, I’ll resign and go do something else!”

"Brother Tian, ​​you are so angry!" Qian Zhiyi said helplessly, "You have been flying for 20 years. Apart from this industry, what else will you do? And even if you can do it, there are no such positions.

How many people are fighting? You don’t know the current situation of our country’s economy. How many people are unemployed! Even sanitation workers, not everyone can do it. Besides, if you want to work as sanitation workers, we

Aren’t humans worse than animals? You took the lead to fight for welfare benefits for everyone, but in the end, when the higher-ups were held accountable, you took the responsibility."

"It's nothing. I was mentally prepared before doing this. Anyway, I'm in my forties now, your sister-in-law earns a lot, and the younger one is working. There's no need for me to subsidize anything. I just go home and stay there."

, I am not hungry, I just want to spend time with my family. But you are different, there are seniors and juniors, and you still point to this work and life." Tian Zhanshan patted Qian Zhiyi's shoulder and said, "But,

If there are still no good changes in the company after this time, you'd better be prepared. There are so many domestic airlines now, don't hang yourself on a tree."

"Brother Tian, ​​what's wrong with people in their forties? As a captain, this is your golden age. You need physical strength and experience. In foreign airlines, captains in their fifties

Lots and lots of them," Qian Zhiyi said anxiously. If Tian Zhanshan really resigns, it will be difficult to return to the aviation system! Other airlines will definitely not recruit him, not to mention that this will offend Caiyun.

Airlines also involve pilot training fees and so on. Who would want to take a stab at Tian Zhanshan's role in the return incident? Wouldn't that add instability to their own pilot team?

The two walked while talking and came to the elevator door. Just at this moment, the elevator door opened and a middle-aged man also wearing a pilot uniform walked out.

Qian Zhiyi's face immediately darkened, and he said coldly: "Ma, you still have the nerve to appear in front of us. What are you doing here? Come on, lick the minister's buttocks." The visitor's surname was Ma Jiping, too.

The pilot of Caiyun Airlines was also a participant in the flight return incident. However, because his flight did not take off at the scheduled time, but took off nearly six hours late, at this time, a large number of Caiyun Airlines flights returned.

The incident had alarmed the company. With direct communication from the company leaders, the flight with Ma Jiping as captain landed at its destination instead of returning.

Ma Jiping sighed and said: "I know, I failed to refuse the request of the company leader, I did not return and became a deserter. It doesn't matter what you think of me. I'm not here to find you, I'm looking for Brother Tian. Brother Tian, ​​I just got

According to the news, in interviews with the media, the heads of Qinxi Airlines and Kowloon Airlines did not agree with imposing a lifetime driving ban on the leading pilots, and they also publicly stated that they were willing to accept the transfer of the unwilling to Caiyun at a reasonable transfer fee.

Brother Tian, ​​how many of you are staying at the airline?"

"Are you lying?" Qian Zhiyi pulled Tian Zhanshan behind him, looked directly at Ma Jiping and said, "How do you know about Qinxi Airlines and Kowloon Airlines?" Now Caiyun Airlines is returning.

The incident has become a hot topic in public opinion. If the leaders of Qinxi Airlines and Kowloon Airlines had made such statements, why didn't he hear any news about it?

"I have comrades who work for Qinxi Airlines. When the media interviewed the person in charge of Qinxi Airlines, they were not interviewed in private. Many people heard about it at the time. Moreover, Qinxi Airlines and Kowloon Airlines have always had a close relationship. Kowloon

The person in charge of the airline also made the same statement to the media who came to interview. As for whether it is true or not, you will know soon. I just want to tell you that if you want to go there, make some preparations in advance." Ma Jiping looked at

Tian Zhanshan said, "Also, I want to say sorry to Brother Tian in person!"

Tian Zhanshan waved his hand and said: "Forget it, you also had your difficulties at that time." (To be continued.) 8
