Ah, here we go again! Yet another Boeing 787 Dreamliner battery fix update… will this be the last? I guess the FAA came to its senses, and finally stopped the nonsense of furloughing controllers. Yay. The title? Well, listen for yourself. You’ll hear my pet cockatiel squawking away throughout the show. I guess I just don’t hear it anymore. More news, questions and feedback. Enjoy!
