For the Japanese the situation at Narita is a neverending headache. I wonder if foreign pilots through their governments cannot push to get the cross runway complete. It is up to you to initiate complaints, otherwise we might wait another half century to solve the dangerous situation. And maybe a planeload of passengers will be the sacrifice to resolve the problem?
