After the plane entered the clouds, it was inevitable that the co-pilot would be in control. The captain, who was free, kept asking questions. William apologized and stood up with a smile." I have to ask if there are any seats available for me to sleep in later. I don't want to be exhausted after arriving in Rio and transferring to el salvador. "Not only am I not responsible for myself and my colleagues, but I'm also not responsible for the passengers. If the captain who's still waiting for me thinks that there's a problem with my attitude, I'll be finished."
" That's true." The captain agreed as he smiled at the co-pilot and the mechanic. The captain was the head of the crew. He had the right to request for a change of co-captain and was also responsible for scoring the co-captain. The captain, who understood this, turned around and said to William," Go and find Marcie. If there are really no empty seats, you can take the flight attendant's seat. Anyway, the flight attendant can't sit forever. When we reach Rio, you can come back and sit on the folding chair."
" Thank you." After greeting the co-pilot and the mechanic, William walked out of the cockpit. He closed the door of the driver's seat and suddenly realized that the door could be opened from the outside. Damn it, the safety awareness these days was too weak! If someone had bad intentions, wouldn't they be able to easily control the entire crew?
William could not help but think of observing the passengers to see if they were suspicious. However, a few seconds later, he thought of the air marshal. If he acted too abnormally, he would definitely attract the attention of the Eagle Brook Air Police. It would be troublesome if he investigated or invited him to the airport office and called Pan Am.
"Mr. Chris, what can I do for you?”William looked up and saw Marcie preparing drinks and snacks with a smile. Are there any empty seats on the plane? I need to take a nap so that I don't have the energy to go to el salvador after I get off the plane."
" Wait a minute." Marcie picked up a form and looked at William with a troubled expression." There is an empty seat, but…"
"But what?" William looked at Marcie, who was in a difficult position. He suddenly reacted and asked," The only seat is next to the air marshal?”
Marcie heaved a sigh of relief and said softly," I heard that there are only 50 professional air marshals in the entire US. Their workload is greater than ours. If you sat beside him and slept soundly, not only would it affect his mental state, but you might also be targeted by him. If you're not tired yet, I suggest you take our seat."
"Okay." William nodded obediently. After all, he had a fake mustache on his lips. If that unhappy air marshal saw something, it would be a big problem.
Sitting in the small seat reserved for flight attendants, William suddenly asked," Marcie, it's rare for me to come to Brazil. If I want to buy some local specialties, do you have any good suggestions?”
"A specialty?"
Marcie seemed to have opened up a chatterbox and started to mumble a lot. In the end, she concluded with three points: coffee, fur, and gems. There was no security check on the plane. Perhaps he could buy some diamonds and bring them back to New York after he got the money in Rio.
He asked Marcie about the hotel that the crew was staying at, and then closed his eyes to rest. Ten hours later, the plane landed in Rio on time. After the passengers left, the crew members began to get off the plane. William said goodbye to the cabin crew in the internal passage. After watching them leave, he waited for another half an hour before leaving the airport. He took a taxi to a four-star hotel. Previously, when he was doing odd jobs, he received six checks. Later, when Frank and William hid in the apartment they rented for the second time and had nothing to do, Frank told William a lot about checks, perhaps to show off, or perhaps to pull William into his team.
Although he only knew how to trick the bank teller, he did let William know how to write a check without arousing suspicion. At the counter of the hotel lobby, he took out the checkbook he had just gotten from the city bank yesterday and wrote it on Frank McCall. The bank account was Hans Bank, and the face value was 100 dollars. With what he had seen at the Hance Bank, he was confident that even the people at the bank would not be able to find anything wrong with the account without checking it with Berlin. However, the hotel staff carefully checked the authenticity of the check. They were not worried about the account, but worried that the check would bounce. In the end, they could only find the lobby manager. In her heart, William was the captain of the Pan Am Company in Eagle Country, but his nationality and accent were Hans. Their hotel was in Rio, Brazil. If their hotel accepted the check and sent it to the bank in Rio, the bank would then connect with Hans 'branch in Rio, and the branch would then check with the head office in Berlin. Half a month was considered fast for this round.
However, when the hotel lobby manager saw William's captain uniform and the check, he did not hesitate to give him ten ten-dollar bills. Although he couldn't see any flaws in the check and was also worried that the check might bounce, he couldn't refuse William's payment. The meaning of jumping votes was also very simple to explain. Assuming that William really had an account in Hans Bank, but the money in the account was less than 100 dollars, this was a bounced ticket.
In the era without the internet, after Hance Bank received this check, because William's account did not have enough money, they would list him as a customer with credit problems and return the check to the hotel's bank. The hotel's bank would also list William as a customer with poor credit and return the check to the hotel. In other words, it would take at least two weeks for the hotel to find out that they had been cheated of 100 dollars. However, no matter how worried you were about the check bouncing, you wouldn't accept the check if there was nothing wrong with it.
If that was the case, they might as well not do business with foreigners since their main customers were foreigners. But if they didn't do business with foreigners, how could they afford such a big hotel just by relying on the Brazilian people?
Looking at the small stack of banknotes on the counter, William heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he smiled and asked in German," Your hotel should be able to exchange 300 dollars in Pan Am paychecks, right?”
" Yes, Mr. McCall," the lobby manager in his thirties suggested with a smile." But paychecks can only be exchanged during the day when the bank is open. I suggest you go to the airport. Pan Am will exchange it for their employees."
Thank you, I know."
William immediately understood the manager's words. He probably saw that he was alone and not the same as the other flight attendants, who were all captains, co-pilots, and mechanics. He had doubts in his heart and could not prove it. That was why he deliberately said that to reduce the risk. This also made him understand that not all countries worshipped the profession of captain.
At least in a country like Brazil, where there was no aerospace at all, the people of Rio would not be like the people of Yingjiang, who would turn to the captain of the civil aviation because of their admiration for astronauts. Since that was the case, he would try to leave Rio in two days.
