Aircraft admirers are actually the staff who maintain aircraft, also called maintenance. Their work includes a series of tasks of aircraft maintenance. Before the plane takes off, it is necessary to overhaul all the functions of the plane to ensure that it can take off safely. This job is what we call "goodbye on the plane".

The goodbye gesture is a signal that the plane takes off safely. On the one hand, it tells the captain that the plane can take off without error, on the other hand, it says goodbye to all passengers on this plane.

This title is shared by a netizen about the staff he met when he was flying. Their gestures matched with the music, making the work look interesting.

According to the waving posture of the staff, everyone kindly named the plane a worshipper, which is also a beautiful name for the safe take-off and landing of the plane.

The origin of locomotive's "bye-bye" action

It is understood that the "Code for the Administration of Civil Aircraft: Language for Maintenance Personnel to Contact the Crew" stipulates that after the ground maintenance personnel evacuate and stand at the designated position, they need to hold the front wheel turning pin high, and the captain will give a gesture to ask for sliding out after reading it. After the maintenance is confirmed, the command will slide out. However, there is no specific requirement for the "wave" action when sending the plane, and each airline will decide according to its own situation.

The relevant person in charge of China Eastern Airlines said that nearly 20 years ago, China Eastern Airlines learned from the experience of foreign airlines and optimized this farewell action, expressing a promise and blessing to passengers with warm waves.

In an interview with Beijing Youth Daily, Yuan Xincheng, the pilot of the second branch of Boeing Line of China Eastern Airlines Hongqiao Maintenance Base, said, "When I graduated from university in 20 13, China Eastern Airlines made a farewell gesture when sending the plane. Waving is not only a courtesy, but also shows the crew and passengers full of enthusiasm, good mental state and rigorous work style. "

Li Wei, deputy director of the technical training room of Beijing Base of China Southern Airlines Engineering Technology Branch, said in an interview with the reporter of Beiqing Daily that when he reached the position opposite the cockpit window outside the wing tip of the plane, he raised his hand to indicate that the plane could slide out and waved goodbye, which is called "bye bye" on the Internet. "I don't know if you think this action is cute. As a locomotive, I still proudly bid farewell to the crew, passengers and the aircraft I maintained and signed for release. "
