Increasing the number of flights was a must. Because the banshee aircraft saved the take-off and landing time of the airport runway, in theory, the banshee aircraft could fly dozens of times in a day on a 300-kilometer route.
This was only in theory. In actual flight, it was still unknown whether the flight crew and service staff were competent for high-intensity flight missions.
After the meeting, Ye Qing and Chang Wanyu sat in the office and discussed a temporary plan to increase the flights for the next day.
Tomorrow, pilots on long-distance routes of more than 1,000 kilometers would work according to a six-hour flight time.
Pilots on routes of less than 500 kilometers would fly six routes.
The interval between each flight was half an hour. This half hour was the time for the passengers to get on and off the plane. It was also the time for the banshee aircraft to connect to the special circuit and charge.
After calculation, after the increase in flights, Skynet Airlines would have 300,000 more seats tomorrow.
This number could almost satisfy the number of railway passengers traveling in a day during the Spring Festival in first-tier cities.
"How many pilots are left in the airline without flying missions?"
Chang Wanyu thought for a moment and said, "About 60 people."
"Tomorrow, there will be another 50 banshee aircraft coming out of the production line at the factory." Ye Qing was not too excited about this number. The construction cost of a banshee aircraft was close to 60 million. In terms of money, it was fine. The main thing was that pilots were in short supply.
"These 60 people are all of them?"
"These people are almost the limit of pilots with flying experience that can be recruited in the short term in the country." Chang Wanyu lay on the sofa tiredly, her round and slender legs curled up weakly. "Boss, if we follow the speed of adding 50 planes a day. I think we won't be able to recruit so many pilots before the aviation academy produces results. "
"There aren't many pilots in the country who can get a commercial flight license."
"If we continue to raise the recruitment price, I'm afraid the other domestic airlines will have objections. The famous aviation department will not allow us to poach pilots from other airlines and leave them with empty planes and no pilots. "
"Unless we learn from other airlines and recruit pilots from abroad, I think we can solve part of the problem of the gap."
"No." Ye Qing immediately shook his head. The civil aviation department had emphasized more than once that the banshee aircraft was an epoch-making technology product. They must not let this technology be mastered by foreign airlines.
Although Ye Qing believed that even if they were given a banshee, they would not be able to replicate it.
However, if one were to think about it with their toes, they would know that once a pilot was recruited from overseas, seven or eight out of ten people would be spies. This was not an exaggeration. For the Banshee Aircraft, the foreign powers were willing to give up everything.
Recruiting a dozen foreign pilots was not enough. If they recruited a few hundred pilots, Skynet would have to replace all the tower staff with technicians who could communicate in English.
Originally, it had taken a lot of effort for Skynet to gather all the tower staff. If he were to switch to something more professional, wouldn't that be tormenting him?
However, the shortage of pilots was imminent. If this was not solved, no matter how many aircraft were built, they would only be decorations.
This question stumped both Ye Qing and Chang Wanyu.
Ye Qing was also sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, deep in thought.
"Or we can lower the recruitment standards again. A third of our crew are captains, and the rest are co-pilots with three bars. If it really doesn't work, we can also recruit someone with two bars. "
Chang Wanyu nudged Ye Qing with her knee. "These two bars co-pilots will be sent to the simulator for training first. After half a month of training, the co-pilots in our flight crew who have three bars also have enough flight experience. When the time comes, let the three bars co-pilots take the lead, and each person will lead a two bars co-pilot. "
"Our Banshee Aircraft is highly automated. The pilot will only complete the vertical takeoff and landing segment. After entering the stratosphere, it will fly automatically. I don't think there will be a problem with three bars co-pilots and two bars co-pilots flying like this. "
"That's also a way." Ye Qing agreed with this plan. Under normal circumstances, piloting the Banshee Aircraft would not take too long. Even a newbie like Ye Qing, who had not even taken a day of aviation lessons, could fly well.
What the pilots really needed to train was in the simulator, how to deal with all kinds of accidents and dangers when the Banshee Aircraft encountered.
However, the biggest difference between the Banshee Aircraft and civil aircraft was that the Banshee Aircraft could hover in the air.
If they encountered a dangerous situation, no matter what kind of chaotic weather it was, they could just hover and find a place to land at any time and place.
If a civil aircraft was forced to land casually, it would be equivalent to bringing all the passengers to death.
The monsters could guarantee that the pilots of the Banshee Aircraft would encounter a major mechanical failure. The chances of them encountering one was even rarer than winning a billion lottery.
Therefore, in the simulation cabin, the pilots practiced the most were forced landings under all kinds of circumstances. In the end, the pilots joked about what to do if they encountered a problem.
Brother, don't be nervous. You just have to find a place to land. Dealing with problems is the job of the ground crew.
Since safety was absolutely guaranteed, it was naturally feasible to relax the pilot recruitment standards.
"But this is not enough. According to the factory's production capacity, we can have an additional 1,500 Banshee Aircraft in a month." Ye Qing nudged Chang Wanyu with his leg again.
"Then I'm really at my wit's end. There are only so many civil aviation pilots. Every year, the students who graduate from the aviation school are also commissioned by the major airlines for training. Hua Xia is not like the United States, where the private jet industry is super developed. There are plenty of pilots with commercial licenses. "Chang Wanyu tugged at her delicate and cute ears, indicating to Ye Qing that she was not a donkey.
Ye Qing really wanted to do driverless driving, but if he did that, the passengers might not dare to take it. Secondly, the civil aviation side would probably be furious.
Since he could not find a solution, Ye Qing could only put the construction of the aviation school first.
Ye Qing believed that when the aviation school was built, there would definitely be a lot of ambitious young people who would apply for his aviation school.
As long as he had the money, he could even throw in 100,000 pilots. It did not matter whether foreign countries recognized the flight certificate issued by the aviation school or not. Monster Industries recognized it, and the civil aviation department recognized it. Ye Qing did not plan to play with foreign countries for the time being.
"I'm leaving." Other than the aviation school, Ye Qing, who had no clue, said angrily, "We will play behind closed doors and build the world's largest aviation school."
Chang Wanyu could not help but laugh. This laugh was like a hundred flowers blooming. "Boss, where are you going?"
"Going to Shezhou City to pick up Doudou."
…
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Ye Qing randomly picked one of the 240 Banshee aircraft that were charging.
The crew was naturally his own exclusive pilot, Fang Yunxin, and the two flight attendants, Su Bing and Su Yu.
