Perhaps we should all approach this problem from a different direction by joining one of the many "Close the airport down outfits".
The press would have a field day if they were told how things really were with these groups. Take LGW for example:
The agreement not to build a second runway for many years is a total confidence trick by the BAA. They have signed up with the local council n full knowledge that it will be a Government decision in which they will have little or no say. In truth a second runway will reduce noise and congestion in the local area but fail to increase the amount of traffic and revenue-hence the BAA's real reason in opposing it.
It would certainly shake up the local Napoleons if we had some objective pilots sitting alongside them!
