We’ve crossed the halfway point of the year, but things go along as they always do. But it is time for Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.
This week, I have mostly learned how to disassemble and repair Microsoft Surface Laptops. Those Torx screws are tiny though.

Next Week
I’ve finally in a position to kick off my post AIX coverage, with things finally lining up (let’s say creating and deploying a backlog is always a fun thing). On top of that, we’ll continue our usual coverage of routes, aircraft news and other things that catch my eye.
Until then, happy landings!
