I guess Senator Schumer has so much free time that he is personally handling
noise complaints ! Every day of the year I hear the train blow it's whistle and I hear the noise of the engine when it goes past my neighborhood.. What do you think should I give him a call and have him come to my house and then we can get the long island railroad on the phone and demand that they stop this noise! Sure.. Also notice how these guys are using every opportunity to pull out the homeland security card .. "Aero-News Network: The Aviation and Aerospace World's Daily/Real-Time News and Information Service An article from Aero-News.net Sen. Schumer Demands New Restrictions On Long Island Helicopter Flight Fri, 15 Jul '05 Says Noise Is Too Much -- They Should Fly Over Water Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) says enough is enough -- low-flying helicopters over Long Island have to go. "Tens of thousands of Long Islanders are affected by this phenomenon. It's annoying and disruptive," Schumer said, quoted in the Suffolk Life newspaper. "The helicopter companies should be routed to fly over the water." Schumer has written FAA Administrator Marion Blakey, demanding the airspace over Long Island be redesigned to incorporate such a change. The New York senator doesn't think asking helicopter pilots to fly over water is a problem. "If helicopters have to add a few extra minutes onto their flight by flying over water, so be it," he said. "There's no reason [the FAA] shouldn't [enact the proposed legislation]." Schumer, along with Brookhaven Town Supervisor John LaVelle, spoke to reporters from the backyard of a neighborhood activist who was fed up with noise from low-flying helos. Not one flew over the woman's yard during the entire news conference, according to the Suffolk Life. "We need to look at this from a perspective of homeland security," LaValle said. "There is no question that it is an issue when we're dealing with things in flight." Schumer wants Blakey to incorporate Long Island noise abatement procedures as part of the overdue redesign of the airspace over New York City.

Schumer always reminds me of the proverbial court jester.
Always attempting to amuze the king and the "royal" court... grinning, smiling behind others... always in attempt to retain his job and remain in good graces with his bosses and subjects. What a puke... I wonder what he'd be doing if he had to get a real job? I sure as hell wouldn't hire him. |

Birds are always crapping on my car, that ****es me off. We need to enact legislation to STOP these flying things from endangering people and their property. Surely we can expand the powers of the Homeland [in]Security Administration to address this issue. |

Try living near a elementary school. Yeah. There's a kid next door that can break eardrums. I recall hearing a report many years back to the effect that being a playground monitor or teacher at elementary schools could result in hearing damage. One little girl registered well over 150 decibels with her scream. George Patterson Why do men's hearts beat faster, knees get weak, throats become dry, and they think irrationally when a woman wears leather clothing? Because she smells like a new truck. |

That's a great description of the guy. He's a pure politician that
constantly says what the people want to hear no matter how ridiculous or impossible to implement. He loves to cater to all those people with little information and lots of emotion.

He loves to cater to all those people with little information and lots of emotion. He took credit for "Bringing Jetblue to New York" in his campaign ads. Aside from the fact that it's a gross exaggeration, the enticement was to give them free rent for a period, discounted landing fees, etc. These "low-cost" startups are only low-cost because of TAXPAYER SUBSIDIES. You're paying for their costs whether you buy a ticket or not. That's criminal. -- Garner R. Miller ATP/CFII/MEI Clifton Park, NY =USA= |

So, I am a criminal for paying my taxes? No, the politicians are criminals for using that tax money to artificially lower one company's price in what's supposed to be a competitive marketplace. The same thing happened in Miami with ATA, and DFW airport is trying to lure Southwest with a $22 million package. I don't begrudge the airlines; who would say no to a government handout, especially when you're trying to get a new company off the ground? No, I begrudge the politicians who play that game. I could open a Dunkin Donuts and charge less than all the other stores in town if I didn't have to pay my rent and personal property tax for a year. See the parallel? -- Garner R.
