Chapter 74 Did they really think she was an easy target?
As soon as this voice message was broadcast, the bustling broadcast channel immediately fell silent, giving the controllers ample quiet space to adjust.
Upon hearing the distress call, Xu Songning immediately assessed the current aircraft priority order. The aircraft reporting an emergency fuel shortage was circling behind, and it was estimated that it would take 30 minutes to land. Since the aircraft was running low on fuel, it had to be prioritized for landing.
"Xiangjian 8235, Shanghai approach received Pan-Pan."
"Attention all aircraft! Arrowhead 8253, take priority landing. All other aircraft, maintain current altitude. Deer 7389, hold. Southern 2384, turn right onto heading 100, follow the aircraft ahead, maintain a 7-nautical-mile separation. Wave 3378, turn left onto heading 220, maintain a 5-nautical-mile separation..."
"Sound Arrow 8253, high speed, short five-sided flight, runway 36R is clear for landing, contact control tower 118.2."
"36R landed, control tower 118.2, signal arrow 8253."
The whistle flew ahead of the other aircraft in the flight path, smoothly gliding down the path and landing with a silky, perfect touch.
After dealing with the aircraft that was running low on fuel, she guided the other aircraft back to their routes and continued their approach.
"Shanghai approach, what's going on? Can't you control it properly? How much longer until it lands? Tsk! It's beyond 2385."
On the broadcast channel, Song Qing'an's annoying voice rang out again.
This time, Xu Songning was not polite at all, and retorted coldly, "Beyond 2385, everyone is waiting to land. Can't you wait? Or go out and circle around a couple of times to calm down?"
Do they really think Xu Songning is an easy target?
It's understandable that people are frustrated during special weather conditions. But if the question of when we can land is asked repeatedly, it will only amplify the negative emotions of the captain waiting to land and make everyone else irritable.
"You...!" Song Qing'an felt a lump in his throat. He had waited so long for the landing, and she actually made him go out and circle twice more!
Both the ground and air conversations were recorded. If he said anything offensive, Xu Songning could report him, and he would be in deep trouble. The company was already very dissatisfied with him because of Meng Ling's report last time, so he could only swallow his anger for the time being.
Today has been absolutely unlucky! Nothing good has ever happened to Song Qing'an since he ran into those two women! Just wait, I'll get my revenge sooner or later!
Xu Songning was too lazy to pay attention to his bad temper. It was taboo to bring personal emotions into work. When she directed Song Qing'an to land, she still maintained a businesslike attitude. However, the captain in the broadcasting channel could hear how bad the other party's tone was.
The news of Song Qing'an's infidelity during their relationship has spread widely among pilots. Although there are many shocking scandals in the industry, this infidelity scandal seems commonplace. But with the person in front of you, who can help but gossip in their mind?
I reckon there will be a new wave of gossip spreading after we get off the plane.
When the colleague taking over the shift arrived, Xu Songning explained the situation of the plane he was taking over. When he mentioned that one plane had reported a Pan-Pan incident, the other person raised an eyebrow. Without saying a word, Xu Songning understood.
I need to write the report.
Director Liu was waiting for her in his office. When he saw her arrive, he took a report from his drawer and handed it to her. “Today’s thunderstorms must have greatly interfered with the landing, right? It’s alright, just fill out a report and send it up. It’s just that we’re running low on fuel, so it won’t be investigated.”
"At the beginning of the thunderstorm, the plane couldn't land on the runway. That plane circled for too long and ran out of fuel, but fortunately the weather cleared up in time." Xu Songning was filling out the report with his head down. It's not uncommon for planes to run out of fuel while circling during thunderstorms.
Unless the captain miscalculates the minimum fuel requirement or there is an error during refueling, the Civil Aviation Administration and the airline will not hold them responsible.
Director Liu twirled his teacup, his face amiable. "I've seen this kind of situation many times before. Safety first during thunderstorms. Don't worry, nothing will happen. Oh, I also heard that a captain gave you a hard time?"
Xu Songning paused, the pen twirling between her fingers. "How come the news came so fast? I haven't even gotten my phone yet, and you already know?"
"Hey, who doesn't have a few group chats with the captain? The captains of the local airline will definitely side with us. There are captains on the broadcasting lane right now, and they'll be discussing this in the group chat after they get off the plane." Director Liu gossiped, his shrewd eyes watching her write the report, his heart itching with curiosity.
Xu Songning snorted, glancing out of the corner of her eye. Everyone else in the office was busy. She gave a name, "Song Qing'an."
"Oh~ It's him!" Director Liu was surprised, and looked at her with a strange expression. He had already heard about Song Qing'an's affair. Could this girl also be among those who had been deceived?
He leaned closer and whispered, "You like his type, don't you?"
"No!" Xu Songning exclaimed, both amused and exasperated. "Do you even have the demeanor of a leader?"
“How could I not have anything? I care about my subordinates’ emotional well-being! If you really were deceived by Song Qing’an, I’ll have to help you apply for mental health counseling. Yes, you need to get a psychological evaluation later, it’s time to redo it.” Director Liu said earnestly.
“I have nothing to do with him. Why don’t you have Song Qing’an get some mental health counseling? He’s so vengeful right now, he’s really not suited for flying. Every time he makes that irritating voice, I want to punch him.” Xu Songning swung his fist.
Director Liu burst into laughter, and when the others in the office looked over curiously, he pretended to cough and suppressed his laughter.
"Oh, it's Songning. Long time no see. What brings you here to write a report? What trouble have you gotten yourself into?" the older woman in the office asked.
Director Liu immediately clasped his hands together and bowed to the air, saying, "No taboos, no taboos. Don't talk nonsense. Our Song Ning is an excellent employee. What trouble could she possibly cause? It's just a small matter."
"Oh, alright, alright, you're so protective of your own. I didn't say Songning was bad." The older sister laughed. Everyone in the office knew that Director Liu was very protective of her employees. She was incredibly kind to them, always keeping some daily medical supplies and throat lozenges like Pangdahai and Jin Sangzi on hand, and often ordering them coffee. Other departments were truly envious.
"Sister, it's nothing, don't worry about me," Xu Songning replied with a smile.
After this little incident, Xu Songning placed the completed report on Director Liu's desk. Director Liu had just finished washing blueberries and casually gave her a small box. After thanking him, Xu Songning took a box of throat lozenges.
"Songning, why are you taking food and gifts?" Director Liu said with a smile, not forgetting to remind her, "Go get a psychological evaluation, don't make me worry."
Xu Songning felt he was making a mountain out of a molehill, but if he didn't agree, "Mediterranean" would keep pestering him about it.
In-service psychological assessments are a regular procedure for air traffic control, and she was too lazy to dwell on it any longer, so she simply agreed, "I understand, don't worry about it."
During her break, she went to get a psychological evaluation.
Air traffic controllers need to monitor aircraft movements in real time at a high intensity, which is a demanding job with very low tolerance for error and great psychological pressure.
The shift work system, which reverses day and night, places a heavy burden on the body. If one cannot get timely rest, it will not only affect physical health but also work performance. Air traffic control is a position where mistakes are absolutely unacceptable, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
The nature of the job leads to significant psychological and physical stress, causing some air traffic controllers to experience anxiety, and in more severe cases, developing depression.
This underscores the importance of psychological intervention; regular psychological assessments are fundamental to ensuring their ability to return to work normally.
"Ms. Xu, most of your test results are normal. You have low family stress, high emotional stability, and good concentration at work. Your report is good enough for an excellent rating. But what about your sleep? Is it still the same as before?"
