On the evening of 19th, a "pilot’s note" attracted a lot of attention on the Internet. The article describes that a captain decided to wait for a child who was late when the plane was about to close the hatch, and then he wanted to invite the child to visit the cockpit during the flight.
According to the article, the crew and passengers of the whole flight donated more than 70,000 yuan for the children. Many netizens expressed their objection to this, and even thought it was false news. They questioned that although the content of the article was very warm, the captain’s operation was "illegal".
The Beijing Youth Daily reporter contacted a number of people in the aviation industry. They said that this situation is possible. Under similar circumstances, the captain, as the first person in charge of the flight, can decide to "do something special".
The flight is waiting for a family of children.
"Pilot’s Notes" is a hot topic.
The reporter of Beiqing Daily noticed that this "pilot’s note" named "The Man" was forwarded and commented by many netizens on the Internet since the 19th.
The author of the article claimed to be a pilot. In a recent mission, three minutes before the departure time, the flight attendant informed that three passengers had not arrived, and the captain said that he could wait a little longer. "But when the flight attendant arrived at the cabin, he saw a man kneeling there. After asking, he learned that his child had a heart attack, and he almost lost everything. Although the hospital announced that the children didn’t have much time left, they wanted to take them to a big hospital for treatment. Because the child was flying for the first time, the mother took him to see the plane, and the family of three separated. "
According to the article, when the plane arrived at the closing time, the child and the mother still did not appear, and the crew decided to continue waiting. "The ground and the dispatcher have been urging the door to take off, and the crew repeatedly refused to close the door, which almost quarreled." At this time, there were also passengers in the back cabin, and the crew then broadcast the truth in the cabin, and the passengers’ mood improved. After more than 20 minutes, the mother and son finally arrived, and the crew immediately helped them sit down. "I told the father that if the child is willing, he can visit the cockpit and let the child come out after landing." However, the father declined the pilot’s kindness.
The captain decided to be questioned by netizens.
The publisher of the article is unwilling to say more.
The article mentioned that after the plane entered the cruise, some passengers initiated donations with the consent of the crew. Seven crew members donated 8,500 yuan, and 134 passengers donated 67,520 yuan, totaling more than 70,000 yuan.
Yesterday, the reporter of Beiqing Daily contacted many domestic airlines and airport staff. They said that many aviation practitioners have paid attention to this article in the past two days and are also discussing which airline the poster belongs to, but there is no conclusion. Subsequently, the reporter of Beiqing Daily contacted the publisher of the post. The other party said that the pilot who wrote this article had concerns and did not want to publish his name, company and flight number.
In addition to feeling warm-hearted, some netizens think that the content described in this article is "untrue": "Individual passengers can change their visas if they are late. Let more than 100 people wait for three people to be okay. The key is that a plane does not take off, which will affect the take-off of subsequent flights and the operation of the entire airport may be affected. "
Another netizen said: "It is said in the article that letting children enter the cockpit before the plane takes off and come out after the plane lands, which means that the children stay in the cockpit during the whole flight. Will this distract the pilot’s attention? Whether children will touch some equipment in the cockpit will affect flight safety, which is a worrying issue. "
As the first person in charge of the flight
The captain has the right to ask others.
Regarding the "violations" involved in the content of the article, many aviation industry insiders told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that the captain had the right to ask for people before the plane took off, and the resulting consequences needed to be borne by the captain. Under normal circumstances, according to the complaints, compensation and negative impacts generated in the later period, airlines will conduct informed criticism, punish, review and temporarily suspend flights according to the circumstances. However, like the positive energy events written in the article, the general company will handle them as appropriate.
Regarding the statement that children are allowed to enter the cockpit of the aircraft, an industry insider said that according to relevant regulations, no passengers are allowed to enter the cockpit. Under very special circumstances, the captain has the right to allow passengers to enter. "The first person in charge of the flight is the captain who carries out the flight, and the captain can make all decisions that are reasonable and controllable."
For some netizens, if the passengers were late at that time, they could apply for a change of visa, and there was no need for the whole plane to wait for someone else. "In the face of the situation at that time, the captain should make a judgment quickly, and it is possible to choose whether to wait or not." According to industry insiders, if the content of the article is true, it is likely that the captain took into account the family situation of several passengers and made a decision to avoid them paying the fee for changing the visa.
