Chapter 9: Can 1 Can 2 Not 3

   If you can talk about everything Robert said, Li Changheng is just a joke. The purpose of his coming here today is very simple, how to pretend to be the deputy captain.

  "We all know that astronauts have become the most respected profession because of the Apollo moon landing program.

   But the selection of astronauts is too difficult, and the professional pilots of airlines are closer to our ordinary people, and they are also sought after by many people.

   Then, since the captain’s social status is very high, the more realistic question is, how much is the captain’s salary? "

   "Hey, Frank, you are not an adult, so you can't look at money." Fat Robert didn't want to answer this question at all.

   Although Pan Am is the largest among U.S. airlines, it is not without rivals.

  In addition to the common problems of listed companies, they will squeeze employees within a reasonable range for the sake of market value. The salary of the Pan Am captain is not higher than that of lawyers and doctors as the outside world guessed.

   The captain's monthly salary is 2400, and the deputy captain's monthly salary is 1400, let alone the top three, even the top ten.

   And speaking of it, the captain's profession looked glamorous in the 1960s and 1970s, but in the long run, the career prospects can be described as a full-band decline.

   The higher the degree of autopilot of an aircraft, the lower the importance of the captain.

   Of course, this is calculated from the entire industry. When it comes to any aircraft in flight, the captain is always the most important thing.

   Hearing that Robert did not want to answer this question, Li Changheng jumped over directly, "The second question, how can ordinary people be able to afford to fly?"

   Robert's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head helplessly, "Well, this question is very good."

   This is a problem that airlines and customers are willing to solve. The more people fly, the more Pan Am, which has the largest market share, will make more money.

   is such a simple problem, but it is a big problem for Pan Am.

   When Li Changheng called the airport yesterday, he randomly asked about the fares of more than a dozen flights and learned that it costs US$420 to fly from Los Angeles to New York for 4,780 kilometers, which is equivalent to a month’s salary of a middle class.

   The short-haul flights of other airlines are more expensive in kilometers, about 10 dollars per hundred kilometers.

  In other words, flying by plane is the patent of the wealthy and corporate elites who need to travel.

   To be favored by wealthy customers, Pan Am, a company that only operates domestic long-distance and transnational airlines, can only design the interior of the aircraft as luxurious as it is luxurious.

  Economy class is naturally rejected by them, or they dare not try for the first time. Economy class and premium class coexist.

   It wasn't until a few years later that the Boeing 747 appeared on the super-large aircraft, with the luxury class on the upper deck and the economy class on the lower deck. This avoided the dissatisfaction of the rich in the U.S. saying that they spend more money but have to sit with the poor.

   "Sorry, Henry, this question involves company secrets. I can only say that Pan Am will always consider customers. We can do our best, and we have done our best."

   Li Changheng smiled and echoed a few words. In fact, these two questions are not what he wants to ask most.

  The reason for asking is entirely to arouse Robert's guilt.

   Although he pretends to be a reporter for the middle school newspaper, even if Robert is not defensive against him, he will definitely answer instinctively and cautiously.

  "This,,", Li Changheng pretended to be cautious because of continuous rejections. He lowered his head and thought for a while before asking weakly.

   "Then can you tell me how to become a captain, and how do we know who is the captain and who is the deputy?"

   Seeing that Li Changheng was scared by himself, Robert was a little embarrassed, rubbing his cheek with his hand, and said as kindly as possible.

  "If you want to become a captain, the easiest way is that you have five years of experience in fighter jets. This kind of person is the first choice for all airlines as long as they pass the psychological trial.

  The second is to go to a professional aviation school for training. Only after flying for more than 1,000 hours are eligible to go to various airlines to receive specialized aircraft training.”

   Speaking of this, I'm probably really guilty. Robert stretched forward and joked in a low voice, "I'm telling you an interesting digression, but you can't report this matter, OK?"

   "Understand", Li Changheng nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, Mr. Robert, even if I report those gossips, people will believe you or me, a 16-year-old child?

  Moreover, we are a school newspaper, and we are not an outside professional newspaper. We have no claims of interest."

   "Haha, Henry, you are a smart boy".

   Robert narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "If you are determined to be a pilot, if you are really talented, you only need 100 hours of flight training to achieve 1,000 hours of other people’s results.

   Then I suggest you go to the state behind the U.S. Middle Tribe and sign up for the aviation school there."

   Speaking of this, Robert still stretched out his hand cautiously, and made a money gesture with his thumb and middle finger.

   Seeing Li Changheng’s expression of sudden realization, Robert continued to smile and said, “As long as you pass the grades in aviation school,

   And if I am still working in Pan Am, I guarantee that once you pass the training of Pan Am's in-use model and get the approval of professionals in the psychological test, then I will definitely recruit you into the crew."

   This kind of verbal promise does not cost Robert, and he also said that Pan Am's training is qualified.

   If Li Changheng fails the test, then it's none of his business.

   And if you really pass the exam, UU reading www. uukanshu. com most counts that Robert is the deputy manager, and he also needs his own person.

   "Thank you, thank you", there was indeed some Li Changheng who wanted to get a flying driver's license in his heart. After repeatedly thanking him, he suddenly felt that he should not cheat Robert.

   With today’s meeting, the fat man in front of me is a network.

   Maybe I have to make a campus report afterwards, only exaggerating the United States and not mentioning any negative news.

   Even after the school newspaper comes out, spend a small amount of money and mail a hundred copies to Robert. It will be easier to find him in the future.

  While thinking about this, while listening to Robert, who was in a good mood, continued, "It's easy to separate the captain, the deputy captain, and the flight mechanic."

   Robert pointed to his shoulder and said, "The captain has four bright yellow vertical bars, the deputy captain has three bars, and the mechanic has two bars, one for the intern or none."

   Li Changheng, who had known about this for a long time, lowered his head and kept writing in the notebook, and without raising his head, he asked the most questions he wanted to ask, "How can I be sure that the captain I want to sign is the captain of Pan Am?"

   "Then you can only look at the captain’s identification card." Robert pointed to the work card on his left chest.

   Li Changheng took the opportunity to raise his head and glanced, probably because of the welfare of the traverser. Over the past month, his memory has improved by leaps and bounds, and it can even be said that he has never forgotten.

   After remembering everything clearly, and remembering the twelve-digit number,

   lowered his head and began to write on the notebook, but he was thinking about the twelve digits in his heart.

Only a few thoughts before the first two, he understood that it was Pan Am’s company code, and then 112220, if guessed correctly, should be November 22, 1920, which should be Robert’s birth date, and the last four were his employees. No.

   However, it's not right, Pan Am now has less than 10,000 employees.
