I'm serious. Of course, we have to get around, so these things need to be balanced. Commercial airliners are less bad because they move more people, and some of those people are going to places to do productive work. But a private plane flying low over when you are on a nature hike is like a form of theft. You are taking something without compensation.
- JasonFruit 5y agoSo why is it a form of theft to make noise while you are trying to enjoy a forest, but not theft for pilots to be prevented from enjoying the sky?
- johnisgood 5y agoThis does not make sense because enjoying a forest does not cause noise that would prevent the pilots from enjoying the sky.
- jmugan 5y agoIt would also be theft if you were making huge unnecessary noise playing music or whatnot. It's all about the amount of noise and how far it travels.
- jmugan 5y agoOh, what you might mean is, "If I can't fly because I will disturb you on the ground, you are stealing the enjoyment of the skies from me." I can see that. I think it also relates to the number of people affected. If one pilot during one flight across a forest disturbs 100 people who are trying to enjoy nature, that imbalance is where the difficulty is.
- JasonFruit 5y agoThat makes more sense. I'm not convinced that most people are bothered by aircraft noise to the extent you are, but I understand your argument.
