ONLY getting the trouble of your night flights, not even a... single... job
OH right so none of your neighbours is in any way connected to the airport. None of them run car dealerships or are doctors or work in shops or banks. Because by employing thousands of staff they then have money to spend which support thousands of other jobs. Take away the principle employer and the supported jobs go as well.

As for your posts on Airports and routes
DHL have been at BRU for over 15 years. When i started 6 years ago we were using 20 at night for take offs. Since then we have phased out the 727 which is a very very noisy aeroplane . We have reduced the number of A300 movements by 15%. The only reason the MD-11 is
one of the noisiest acft flying today
is because we have removed older aircraft. As it is it has a slightly lower noise levels than the A300 according to NASA figures.
Even then noise levels are likely to come down by a further 40% over the next 15 years throughout Europe as older marginaly stage 3 aircraft (thats the A300-B4 to you) and hushkitted types reach the end of their service life and are replaced by more modern aircraft.

You really should not listen to everything politicians tell you.
