Very nicely put old chap! And the solution is simple I tell you. If JDM has over 400,000 noise pollution victims on his register, then let us charge them each an extra hundred quid every time they fly. That money can be re-invested in the industry and go towards research into quieter aircraft. Those of us that don't give a hoot about noise (I've lived near an airport for over 12 years now) needn't bother paying the extra, provided we don't complain.

We can even take it one step further and suggest that aviation noise pollution victims should undertake not to benefit from the industry until it is completely silent!
