Jet noise over Fayette County — are you kidding me? Mr. Meyer needs to find something real to complain about.

Mr. Meyer blames everyone but himself for living in Fayette County near the world’s busiest airport. Are we to believe Mr. Meyer had no idea he was moving into a home near the busiest airport in the world?

The airport, by the way, has been here for many more decades than Mr. Meyer.

Jet noise? The trains passing through Peachtree City make more noise. The road traffic on routes 74 or 85 make more noise. My neighbor’s teenage daughter’s car stereo makes more noise.

By the time jets get over Fayette County, they are flying at 10,000 feet or higher, so there is virtually no noise heard in Fayette County.

As an airline pilot, I have watched development after development being built near airports across the country, and folks who move into these housing developments complain and sue the airport, airlines, FAA, etc.

Airline pilots in many cases are then forced to fly less safe and less efficient flight paths around these “bozo” developments.

I am familiar with folks like Mr. Meyer, folks who complain about adding runways to airports on the one hand and complain about flight delays they help cause on the other.

Countless airports have been built in the middle of nowhere, only to find themselves surrounded by housing developments in just a few years’ time.

With logic like Mr. Meyer, I wouldn’t be surprised if he complains to his neighbors about the pine pollen in Georgia and campaigns to get all pine trees cut down. Or maybe Mr. Meyer plans to sue the National Weather Service because it rains more in Georgia than at his old residence in Orange County, Calif.

Mr. Meyer, if airport noise bothers you, move.
