Vocal minority leads the charge on airport noise complaints

[Sprucegoose]

Sorry, but this is where the complaining is beyond a joke, and I'm going to rant a little here - strap in.

The airport was likely there long before you were, and if you didn't bother to find out how it might effect you then tough luck.

If you did, and you still moved there not thinking that the noise would increase over the years to come as more and more people use air travel to get long distances - you're a bigger dope than first thought.

One person in Sydney was responsible for a third of the total complaints - he should be throttled back accordingly to ensure that his voice isn't crowding out that of others, specially when he shows he's overly sensitive to it.

This level of complaining is a waste of agency time. The time & resources spent dealing with this could be far better spent on rolling out RNP for all capital airports... or maybe, just maybe getting plans for a second airport in the Sydney basin finally moving (yeah, dream on).

Sorry, I have no time for NIMBY's and numptys who think the world should always conform to their needs. Air transport is an essential part of life, economic development and the landscape. If you don't like it, move somewhere else.

well said Winchester
