At the same time, shifting the 17R downwind a mile and a half to the west is not remotely difficult nor have any impact on efficiency. Yeah that dude that calls 10,000 times a year is an idiot, but there's a lot of stupid decisions that have been made in regard to noise. WestJet uses full reverse on a 14,000 foot runway at 1 am for no reason whatsoever and nobody cares.
YYC has made zero reasonable effort to mitigate noise. Just saying.
