I totally understand where you’re coming from, but as the article discusses, the flight paths are currently being actively changed:
> But the shift has angered residents, who live in neighborhoods that are below the new flight paths.
Unfortunately it sounds like many of these people may have lived in their homes for many years in peace and quiet.
There doesn’t seem to be an easy way out of this one other than maybe routing the new flight paths towards the least populated areas or something along those lines.
I do wonder why these types of changes aren’t brought to public discussion before they’re put into place.
