[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the changes north of the airport that the working group is responsible for intensified the noise for several communities in Fairfax and Montgomery counties. Those communities were not consulted about the changes.

Also communities that never experienced airplane noise before suddenly found themselves directly under the flight path for jets flying to DCA .[/quote]

Whether or not anyone in these communities is or was consulted, I don't think anything will change.  I'm not sure why not. Do the decision-makers just not live in our communities?  Or do they not care?

I'm listening right now to the flights tonight after being in a mid-size, quiet city this last week.  It's driving me nuts.

My wish is that that 50% of DCA flights would be pushed out to Baltimore and Dulles, and let the biggest concentration of the DMV population have some peace at 11 PM on a Wednesday night. [/quote]

The only initiative north of the airport that had any public involvement was when they wanted to shift the easterly flight path towards the river. The feedback from everyone was so overwhelmingly negative that any references to that proposal were eventually removed from all the websites. The only place where you can still find it is the website for Arlington County.

That initiative originated with Montgomery Co. Nobody was foolish enough to believe that somehow shifting the planes over the river would lessen the noise. It would shift the noise from one area to another. [/quote]
