Dreamliner batteries now allowed as cargo only if not aboard 787
The FAA and federal rules shifted after Boeing 787s were grounded over lithium ion battery fires. New rules exempt aircraft batteries from the ban on large lithium ion cells as cargo, meaning 787 batteries can fly only when not attached to a Dreamliner. Pilots and safety advocates question the logic and urge suspension pending NTSB findings.

Boeing workers face pension shift and strike risk in latest talks
Boeing union SPEEA rejects a proposed contract offering to replace traditional pensions with 401k plans and declines two benefit changes. The dispute centers on retiree benefits while Boeing cites best and final offer. Talks affect Everett and Renton plants in Washington and a South Carolina facility producing 787s. Experts say a strike could pause production, though analysts expect a settlement.

Veterans tuition bill in Kansas eyes passage after stalled 2012 bid
Rep. Melanie Meier mentors a revised HB 2652 with KU Collegiate Veterans Association to extend in-state tuition to all veterans in Kansas. Despite broad support in Topeka, the 2012 move stalled over a separate repeal issue related to residency for illegal arrivals. If enacted, the bill could attract more veterans to settle in Kansas, offset by potential lost tuition revenue.
