As the cradle of air cavalries and airplanes in Taixia Country, Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory was also the first place to have a civil airport. In only 2 years, besides dozens of military airports, Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory had built over 100 civil airports, large or small. Additionally, Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory was the first place in Taixia Country to formulate the standards of "Civil Aviation Flight Manual" and "Commercial Airport Service Specifications". So many airports and perfect regulations symbolized the vigorous development of airplanes in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and the outstanding training system of air cavalries in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory.
Zhang Tie landed in the airport outside Dongyang City, the largest civil airport outside Dongyang City.
Almost the moment Zhang Tie's plane parked in a standard parking space of Air Cavalry I, the ground service personnel had already moved the boarding ladder to the side of Zhang Tie's cockpit. Meanwhile, a blue Fiery-Oil convertible SUV drove over from afar and parked beside Zhang Tie's plane. The one who got off the vehicle was the plane service personnel in blue uniform.
Zhang Tie opened the cockpit cover and jumped off the plane swiftly. After that, he stood in front of the plane service personnel.
The flight attendant at the airport was a spirited old man in his sixties with short hair.
"Sir, how long do you want to park your plane in this parking space?"
"I'll count it as one day!"
"Do you need refueling?"
"Fine, fill it up!"
"What about maintenance service?" the plane service personnel asked Zhang Tie as he took a notebook and made a record.
"I want one too!" Zhang Tie replied with a smile.
"What level of maintenance do you want? We have three levels of aircraft maintenance. The highest level is the comprehensive and systematic inspection and maintenance of the aircraft; the medium level includes the engine and main structural components of the aircraft; the low level is only the routine items such as the fuselage and landing gear of the aircraft!"
"Low level is fine!"
The old man climbed up the ladder deftly. After checking the scale of the fuel meter, he made a record in the notebook before coming down again. "Okay, take a look, this is the deed. If you have no problem, please sign your name here. This deed is for you. We will keep this one. The cost of one day's downtime, plus the fuel cost and the primary maintenance cost, is 26 silver coins in total. You need to pay it off now. You can show this deed when you come back. We only accept the deed, not the person. If your plane is damaged in any accident here, this deed will be the basis for your claim!"
We will keep this one. The cost of one day's downtime, fuel and primary maintenance is 26 silver coins in total. You need to pay it off now. You can show the deed when you come back. We only accept the deed, not the owner. If your plane is damaged in any accident here, this deed will be the basis for your claim! "
The service was very standard. After taking the deed and reading it, Zhang Tie nodded as he took out a gold coin and gave it to the old man, "Well, keep the change …" Saying this, he jumped onto the back seat of the convertible SUV.
Perhaps because of that gold coin, the old man became more passionate about Zhang Tie as he started to nag, "You guys who can pilot airplanes are really popular now. As long as you can pilot airplanes, many people would like to hire you. You could earn hundreds of gold coins a year. If I were 30 years younger, I would also learn to pilot airplanes …"
"Haha, it's not too late for you to learn it now!" Zhang Tie said with a smile.
"Haha, I'm too old. I'm afraid that nobody would want me. But I'm doing a good job now. I've not imagined that I could find such a job at this age!" The old man glanced at Zhang Tie as he drove. Closely after that, he continued, "However, if you want to make money, I can recommend some places to you. Some major clans outside Northeast Military Region recruit excellent pilots here all the year round. If you could be a coach there, you could earn at least 400 gold coins a year. If you come from Fire-Dragon Corps, you could earn at least 200 gold coins a year. If you could drive big airplanes like Air Cavalry Type-2, you could earn a higher salary. Additionally, there are many other benefits …"
"What? Are many people recruiting pilots in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory in Dongyang City?"
"Not only in Dongyang City, if you take a look outside those pilot academies, you will know what it means to scramble for people. As long as a young man walked out of those pilot academies, a lot of people would rush towards him. Even those who have not learned how to fly airplanes would be scrambled for him. Taixia Country is so large. Only our Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory's air cavalries are unrivaled in the world. All the major clans, business groups and the local authorities across Taixia Country are rushing to Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory to recruit pilots and coaches. No matter how many students are trained in those pilot academies in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory, they would never be enough. They have to scramble for them …"
Zhang Tie slightly nodded as he revealed a contemplative look. To be honest, such a situation could not be solved in a short period of time. It was like an imbalance between the supply and demand of commodities. It was a seller's market. Pilots and air cavalries were in high demand. Additionally, the demand of Taixia Country was too great to be met by those pilot academies in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. Even though all the pilot academies in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory had been overloaded and Iron Heart Palace intended to expand two more pilot academies this year, it was still a drop in the bucket.
Such a situation could not be solved in a short period of time unless the pilot academies in Taixia Country blossomed over the country and all the provinces and prefectures in Taixia Country could train a lot of pilots. When Taixia Country's air cavalries were officially established as an independent army, the situation might be alleviated preliminarily.
"To tell you the truth, those clans offered very good conditions. If I introduce one person to them, I could get 10 gold coins as introduction fee …" The old driver explained to Zhang Tie as he took out a name plate and gave it to Zhang Tie, "There're the addresses of the offices of some major clans in Dongyang City. If you want to go there, take this name plate. Just take it as my introduction …"
"Hmm, if I want to go there, I will take this name plate …" Zhang Tie took the name plate with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you. Young people are really nice. When I save enough money, I will also send my grandson to be a pilot …" Soon after saying that, the old driver hurriedly apologized to Zhang Tie as if he had found something wrong in his words, "I'm sorry, erm, I didn't mean that. Don't misunderstand me …"
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay …"
The old driver directly drove Zhang Tie out of the airport.
It was the station outside the airport, which was surrounded by some hotels and commercial facilities. It was full of vigor …
