Captain Nguyen The Phong – 36 years old this year, has just become the captain of Boeing 777, whose wife is a Vietnam Airlines flight attendant – said that the pilot must accept a job that does not have much time for family, all jobs family, child care must be completely thanks to wife and relatives. With pilots every flight is a new challenge “before every flight, body state, psychology, health, weather … are not the same. Therefore, before flying, you must carefully prepare the mental and health factors …, even when there is a problem, your family must be put aside for a safe flight “.
The pilot job forces the body to always adapt to the time zone, especially long-haul flights. For example, flying to France, the plane departs from the evening of the first day, Phong and the pilot group are constantly working concentrated and stressed all night while the guests sleep. 7:30 am landing, at this time in Vietnam it is already past noon (Vietnam and France are 5-6 hours apart depending on the season), procedures for handing over the plane, then near noon (at this time in Vietnam is mid afternoon) to arrive hotel: sleeping. From 16 to 17 am to get up to do exercise, Vietnam is now at night, rest, have dinner and then sleep again to fly back to Vietnam in the morning. One day, I flew back from France to Australia, Australia was 3-4 hours behind, so the biological clock is now 10 hours apart.
Although there are two flight crews, one flight crew and one rest group, the spirit must always be focused and ready to deal with any situation that may arise to ensure flight safety.
