FAA Expected to Announce 787 Can Fly Again

Just received a breaking news alert from the Wall Street Journal  that FAA administration chief Michael Hueta is expected to announce as soon as tomorrow that he is allowing the 787s to begin flying again. The report indicates that foreign aviation agencies are expected follow the FAAs lead and let the jet fly again. 

Once the jet is approved to fly again Boeing will begin installing a battery fix to prevent the problems of batteries arcing and catching fire, which grounded the jet in the first place. The fixes will take a few weeks and so the 787 may not be back in full service until May so that all of the instillation an testing can take place.
