There is no limit to the sky, and my future is boundless; I will fly a bluer tomorrow after breaking the cocoon".
This is a song released by GEM Deng Ziqi in 2022, and for 22-year-old Xue Yujiao this year, this is also a true portrayal of her.
Xue Yujiao is an aviation safety officer ("air security") of Zhejiang Loong Airlines.
In many people's minds, the basic people who are responsible for security guards in the air are men, and Xue Yujiao is one of the six female air guards of Loong Airlines' "Raptors Special Service".
Before becoming an aviation safety officer, Xue Yujiao was a skydiver from the Air Force.
It can be said that she has an indissoluble bond with the sky.

Because of a military uniform, they are connected to the sky.
In 2002, Xue Yujiao, who was born in Henan, is a standard "post-00s".
Since elementary school, she has been selected by sports coaches and has become a sports student specializing in track and field.
After graduating from primary school, he was selected to the city sports school to practice track and field sprinting and long jump. It can be said that Xue Yujiao has always dealt with the land and the runway.
Why did you suddenly switch to skydiving? Xue Yujiao smiled, at first because she liked the feeling of wearing a military uniform, "I remember that there were many provincial teams to recruit seedlings at that time, such as football, taekwondo and the like, I didn't want to go, every time they came, they hid far away." Later, an instructor in military uniform came, and my eyes lit up, so I signed up, and only after I went did I know that it was a skydive. ”
After rigorous testing, Xue Yujiao officially enlisted in the army and became a member of the Air Force Bayi parachute team.

Exercise physical fitness, training skills, learn theoretical ......Since the end of 2015, Xue Yujiao has begun to transform from a sports student to a paratrooper, and has also begun to fly from the land to the sky.
Of course, the training of the troops is hard, and they basically train every day, except for eating and sleeping. When holding the yearning for the sky, Xue Yujiao persevered, and after more than three months of training, she achieved the qualification of all training subjects and ushered in her first jump, "The first time I skydive, I was not afraid, but I was indeed a little nervous." ”
Because of her inexperience, the relatively thin Xue Yujiao did not jump out for the first time, but was pushed back by the fierce wind in the air, and under the guidance of the instructor, she kicked her feet hard before jumping out.
Xue Yujiao remembers the first time she saw a vast green land, "When you are at an altitude of 1,000 meters and see the full horizon, this feeling is really amazing!" ”

In the nearly six years she has been in the army, Xue Yujiao has soared in the air at least hundreds of times. Changchun Aeronautical University Open Day Skydiving Performance, Wuhan World Military Games Test Match and Opening Ceremony ......You can see Xue Yujiao's vigorous figure in the air.
In 2020, she was also selected for the national skydiving ski jumping team as the captain of the women's team. Unfortunately, in the same year, Xue Yujiao returned to the parachuting team due to injury and officially retired in 2021.
After retiring, Xue Yujiao accidentally saw the news of Loong Airlines' recruitment of air security, and with the mentality of giving it a try, she signed up and successfully joined the company.

Different skies, same responsibilities and expectations.
Because she has been exercising since she was a child, Xue Yujiao has a solid physical foundation, coupled with the aerial experience she has saved from many years of parachuting, she quickly stood out from the three female air guards in the same batch, and has the title of "Sister Jiao".
Girls do look a little more effeminate than boys. Xue Yujiao said that the gap in physical fitness needs to be made up for with more training. Every day, in addition to the normal 40-lap collective run with the boys, as well as special training such as sanda, enemy defeat, and jiu-jitsu, Xue Yujiao and other female aviation safety officers will practice independently, "Whichever piece is weak, make up for it." ”
Xue Yujiao said proudly, "With the same standard, our girls can basically get full marks in all subjects, and even some items are stronger than boys." ”

In July 2023, Xue Yujiao officially became an aviation safety officer and began to carry out flight tasks.
Returning to the sky again, Xue Yujiao was full of emotion in her heart, "Before the flight took off, sitting in my place, the military life in the past six years seemed to be right in front of me, and that passion was rekindled." ”
Aviation safety officers, as members of the crew, will inspect every possible hidden item or risk place in the cabin before boarding, and carefully check whether there are any items left behind by passengers.
When the passengers board, Xue Yujiao will also carefully observe each passenger, and at the same time pay attention to some key passengers, such as drunk, ...... who travel together but obviously quarrelThere are also airport feedback that there are disputes when waiting for the flight, "For some passengers who will obviously affect the flight safety of the aircraft, I will inform the crew that they can refuse boarding after their judgment." ”

During the flight phase, in addition to observing the dynamics of the aircraft in real time, she would also get up every once in a while to inspect the entire cabin, "Each time our position is not fixed, but we can definitely pay attention to the situation of the entire cabin." ”
The cabin space is more cramped and cramped, and in the air, the girl's lighter and more agile posture is an advantage in Xue Yujiao's view.
In addition, stronger affinity and more delicate observation are also the advantages of female aviation safety officers, "When there is an emergency such as a disturbance on the flight, it will be easier for us to channel the emotions of the parties, solve the emergency, and ensure the safety of passengers." ”
Once, during the disembarkation stage, a passenger suddenly fainted, Xue Yujiao immediately rushed to the passenger's side, fortunately it was just low blood sugar, and after feeding chocolate and sugar water, the passenger quickly recovered and got off the plane safely.
Engaged in parachuting and aviation safety officers, although they are in different airspace and different industries, Xue Yujiao feels that they all have the same sense of mission and responsibility, "Skydiving is the responsibility of winning glory for the country, and air security is the responsibility of protecting the safety of aircraft and passengers, and there is no room for error." ”

Gobi, snow-capped mountains, bright fireworks, New Year's hope to fly to more cities.
After nearly a year of work, Xue Yujiao has also accumulated more than 300 hours of flight time.
On the plane, she saw all kinds of people, "because I sat in the passenger compartment and was the crew member with whom I had the most contact." ”
What impressed Xue Yujiao the most was that there were often old people who took the plane alone, playing with their families while getting on the plane, until they sat down, "It feels quite warm at that moment." ”

On the plane, she also saw magnificent mountains and rivers.
I remember the first time I flew over the snowy mountain, I looked at the white mountain, and I was immediately shocked. Every time she passes by the Gobi Desert, Xue Yujiao can't help but ask in her heart whether anyone has set foot in this area.
The working hours of four days off and two days off also made Xue Yujiao busy and rarely went home. On the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, she was flying "Hangzhou = Kuala Lumpur". When getting off the passengers, many passengers said "Happy New Year" to the crew, and Xue Yujiao felt very warm at that moment.
That night, along the way back, every time she passed by villages and cities, she could see the "bright fireworks" below in the air, and many passengers took out their mobile phones to record, "Although I didn't go home, I sent many people home for reunion." ”
When she is not working, except for occasionally going out shopping with her girlfriends and friends, Xue Yujiao prefers to paint at home.
A few months ago, when it was snowing in Hangzhou, Xue Yujiao also "painted makeup" on a snowman.
Xue Yujiao in * is no longer heroic at work, but she also has more of the gentleness and sweetness of post-00s girls.

Today, Loong Air has expanded to six female aviation safety officers. In the new year, Xue Yujiao hopes that more women can join the ranks of aviation safety officers, and also hopes that she can fly more city routes, "Of course, if you have the opportunity, you will have to challenge parachuting again, and I hope that when I stand on the door again, I will have the courage to jump!" ”
As the lyrics say, "Look up at the blue sky, there is no limit." ”
