#142014-07-22 03:57Don’t think “I’m all right Jack” because the ‘Air Hoons’ aren't overhead, at your place, yet -- in the middle of the night (the new rush-hour at the Auckland Airport is 11.30 PM to 12.30 AM) – but rest assured, as the Herald enthuses almost daily, more and more airlines ….and who knows about the mental stability of their pilots or their ‘training’….will be arriving soon. More tourists. More profits for the bosses to share among themselves. And unbelievably, given the noise they make and the pollution they cause, our own Air NZ has bought (more likely given!?) more ‘Screaming Banshee’ airbus 320s. Shudder. Profit is everything. They know how bad that particular plane is….as well as its chequered safety record. Oh, and I forgot to mention, the pilots can now choose WHERE they fly and HOW LOW and LONG they make their trajectories…..24/7. Like the Malaysian Flight MH17, they’ll choose the shortest route to their destination……saving fuel and getting a raise from the bosses. And of course, ‘greenwash alert’ they’ll save 1% of the carbon they generate on the rest of the journey! Think Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892-1984) who famously said of the German intellectuals, who stood back passively: “First they came for the Socialists, but I didn't complain, because I wasn't a Socialist”…..and we all know how that ended up. This is not an unreasonable request on these flights. And your details don’t have to be public. (A number of pilots have indicated they will be participating…..out of sheer embarrassment at what they are being forced to do. There are slightly longer routes…..up to 10 minutes that would keep the planes away at night, or much higher and quicker on take-off. You won’t get another chance. This malarkey is being legislated right now. Big vested interests – as you’d expect – are at play. |

This is news to me, I was always under the impression that aircraft were controlled and routed by air traffic controllers? They are the ones who direct the paths of aircraft to keep them separated from other aircraft who are leaving and arriving in the airspace governing Auckland International Airport?
Your comment only highlights the woeful ignorance displayed by the public where matters of this type are discussed. |
