Chapter 672 Flying to the Sky
Not long ago, Frank Sr. gave Frank Jr. his first personal checkbook, allowing Frank Jr. to enter this new world of bank credit.
Now, the hotel lobby manager has opened another door to a whole new world for little Frank. The salary check is guaranteed by the company where he works.
So.
Little Frank used his brains to get a pay check for his new identity as "Pilot Frank Taylor". He needed to forge a pay check based on his own experience.
So, what should be done?
The first step is to type the basic information on a completely blank check with a typewriter——
Because the upper limit of cashing a salary check is three hundred dollars, so this is for Frank Taylor My paycheck is $299.12.
The second step is to soak a Pan Am aircraft model in the bathtub until the glue on the sticker on the model loosens, and then use tweezers to carefully remove the Pan Am logo sticker on the tail position of the aircraft. Remove it from the ground and stick it on the upper left corner of the check.
The third step is to put the check in a large book, flatten it, absorb water, and dry it.
at last.
Put on your uniform and dress up properly, go to the bank, find the window where a beautiful lady is working as a teller, hand her the pay check, and when you notice that she is trying to carefully check the authenticity of the check, smile and do your best. Maybe relax as naturally as possible and look clearly into her eyes.
"I'm sorry, I'm sure you've heard people say this often, but you have the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen."
Sincerity and straightforwardness.
Also, don’t move your eyes away, and keep making sure that the other person’s cheeks turn red under your gaze.
The lady lowered her gaze shyly, "Yes, I often hear people say that." Her smile bloomed completely, "What denomination of banknotes do you want to cash in?"
It's done.
Everything, just like the magician pulling the rabbit out of the hat.
So.
The hotel bathtub was full of model airplanes. Little Frank carefully placed the forged paycheck on the floor of the room:
Neat and dazzling, the entire space of the room is covered with carpets.
Things may occasionally encounter some twists and turns.
For example, banks need to wait for cash to be transported and it takes an hour after they open before they can start cashing checks.
But it doesn't matter. The bank manager gave little Frank a direction:
Go to the airport to cash the check.
Little Frank:? ? ?
"Airport? Who will cash the check at the airport?"
Obviously, little Frank has no idea at all.
The bank manager was a little surprised, but he did not raise any suspicion and continued to explain, "The airlines themselves, they always cash for themselves."
This is another brand new knowledge.
When Frank Jr. showed up at the airport, he didn't go directly to the Pan Am counter. Instead, he went to the TWA counter where Pan Am signed the sharing agreement.
Before Little Frank had time to take out his salary check, the airport ground staff at the counter smiled and said, "Are you my flight crew member?"
Little Frank:..."What?"
The smile was frozen at the corner of the mouth.
Fortunately, the other party did not become suspicious. He just pretended that Frank Jr. did not hear and repeated, "Are you my member (Deadhead) traveling to Miami?"
Little Frank blinked his eyes. In the panic, he grasped his reason to regain his composure and smiled, "Yes, yes. I am your flight crew member."
The ground staff smiled, "You are a little late. But the jump-seat in the cockpit is empty."
Little Frank was about to turn around and board the plane. After a moment of hesitation, he turned around and looked at the other party in a half-joking manner, "It's not far from me. It's been a while since I last did this, so where's the spare chair?" "Haha." The ground crew thought that Frank was joking and it was a good joke. "Hahaha."< br>
So, what is a flyer? Where is the spare chair?
The so-called deadhead can be understood as the crew members who take the flight, that is, those crew members who sit in the cabin during the flight. They do not perform the mission of this segment of the flight, and they cannot serve as backup crew members of this segment of the flight. Therefore, the crew of this segment of the flight who left the cockpit to rest in the cabin during the flight cannot be called "Deadhead".
The mission of a "Deadhead" is to fly to a destination as a passenger and then perform other flight tasks as a crew member. It is very common in daily civilian flights, such as traveling to different cities to help sick crew members fly back; such as the launch of new routes, and so on.
Generally speaking, just treat them as ordinary passengers, and the flight will leave empty seats for them.
However, if there are no seats occasionally, then the spare chair can come in handy.
The so-called jump-seat is a foldable seat used by the flight crew when there are no empty seats in the cabin. It is also called a crew seat.
However, in 1964, a spare seat specifically referred to an additional foldable seat in the cockpit in addition to the driver's and co-pilot's seats.
In the former, little Frank was confused and figured out some clues and roughly understood its meaning; but in the latter, little Frank, who had no knowledge of airplanes, was at a loss.
After successfully boarding the plane, under the guidance of a beautiful flight attendant, little Frank entered the cockpit, but could not find the spare seat.
Nonetheless, in between the frantic searches for a spare seat, Frank Jr. expertly dealt with the jargon-laced polite chatter in the cockpit.
The captain chatted, "What plane are you flying, DC8?"
Frank Jr., "707."
The captain understood immediately, "You just landed and took the red-eye flight back?"
It seems that the flight that just flew from Miami to New York was a 707.
Little Frank didn’t panic. Not only did he not panic, but he also patted the captain’s shoulder, hugging him closely while concealing his embarrassment of looking for a spare chair, “I will be traveling between continents in the next few months. Flying back and forth, making some extra money by filling in for those who are sick and tired.”
Obviously, little Frank already understood what the flying members meant.
The captain had been here before and chuckled, "There's no need to be embarrassed, we've all gotten here this way."
But where is the damn spare chair?
The beautiful flight attendant seemed to notice that little Frank was lost. He hugged little Frank's waist from behind, pulled him slightly toward the door, opened a box from under the cockpit wall, and then Pull out a folding chair from inside -
A simple bench.
This is the spare chair.
Little Frank had no time to worry about this and took his seat immediately.
The beauty showed a smile, "What do you want to drink after takeoff?"
Little Frank was still in a state of shock, almost revealing his secret, "Cow...milk." , just blurted out.
Poof.
A low laughter sounded in the screening room.
However, this is still not the end.
When the plane took off, little Frank, who was flying for the first time in his life, couldn't help but grab the seat and tried his best to control his beating heart, but he still couldn't control himself. He was scared and surprised. , with a face full of surprise, watching the sunlight coming through the window and falling on his face.
Like a sixteen-year-old boy.
