Why I couldn't work at a complaints line. Because I can't generate sympathy for whiners.
Flight routes change.

Not sure if that matters for these complainers or not.

In my personal case, we bought in SE Airdrie before the new runway opened up. Then when it opened we get a lot of large aircraft on their descent at all times of day. Was annoying for the first night because I woke up since I wasn't used to it. Since then, meh. Sleep like a baby.

It's entertaining when the NIMBYs go on the news ever few years and complain "I bought a house in the NW/SW so I should never hear airplane noise. Those peasants in the NE should expect it though"
