Shanghai Pudong International Airport. Five minutes after Chen Jiayu signed in, he saw Duan Jingchu arriving late and walking in from the other side of the corridor. He said hello to Chen Jiayu, but maybe because of what he had experienced in the past two months, Chen Jiayu felt that he was smiling but not smiling.

But as bad as it is, they are not the first crew to have internal turmoil in civil aviation. If you fly with the same company for a long time, you will inevitably encounter people with entangled interests that you don't like. Chen Jiayu still acquiesced that everyone should conscientiously do their own jobs in their posts, and that was how he was anyway.

With this mood, he and Duan Jingchu also went through the process separately.

The job of a pilot sounds cool, but the coolness only comes from the few seconds of takeoff and landing. In fact, the daily work of flying is very trivial, and every step cannot be done wrong. Chen Jiayu asked on the radio the departure time of the dispatcher and whether there was flow control for the dispatch. He called for the refueling truck and the sewage truck. He walked around the aircraft for body inspection and watched for refueling on the ground before boarding the aircraft. He also had to cross-check the range and navigation of the aircraft control panel. data. Finally, the crew checked the release manifest and reported the takeoff briefing to the tower before closing the door.

Doing all this with a co-pilot like Yue Dachao who has a good relationship and a good understanding of each other, Chen Jiayu will feel that time flies very fast. But with Duan Jingchu, Chen Jiayu felt that it would take two hours. Fortunately, this time the crew included Cheng Xuan and Yang Feifei, acquaintances he had worked with before, so the whole process went smoothly.

Due to the impact of the previous tower accident in Pudong, admission and release are under flow control almost every day, and it takes at least 45 minutes to wait on the ground. Chen Jiayu had no choice but to wait where he was. There was a quiet and awkward silence in the cockpit. He took out his phone and looked at it - he had seen Fang Hao's WeChat message in the morning, but he got up at five o'clock and rushed to the airport, signed in and started pre-flight preparations. It was only after he finished the first flight that he had time to give him a simple reply, "I'll talk to him in Beijing tonight." Now, although he had time, he didn't have the energy to think about his own personal matters.

Just when he was about to hook up the trailer, Duan Jingchu suddenly said to him: "Brother Jia, I will take the lead today."

Chen Jiayu turned his head and glanced at him. When he arrived, he was the main pilot on the same flight as Yue Dachao. He actually didn't mind exchanging driving rights. The main pilot and the monitoring pilot didn't say which one was easier. They both had their own areas of responsibility. But the other party was Duan Jingchu...

Duan Jingchu seemed to see what he was thinking, and said, "I didn't do a good job with the landing lights before. I'll do it this time."

Chen Jiayu said in his heart that his conscience actually found out. Regardless of whether he was sincere or not, when it came to this, Chen Jiayu could only agree: "Then you come and fly." Anyway, the technical record book was the last to be signed.

The flight lasted 2 hours and 25 minutes. After actually skidding off the ground, the flying time passed quite quickly. After flying into North China, Chen Jiayu got up from the cockpit and went to the bathroom. Duan Jingchu was in the main flight, but at cruising altitude, the aircraft was connected to autopilot. The pilot often went to the bathroom halfway through the flight, which was considered normal operation. After he entered the bathroom, he felt a very slight tremor in his body. It was not a turbulence in the airflow, but a fluctuation similar to vibration. It only lasted for about two seconds, and then it returned to calm.
