  "The situation is complicated" no its not.
  
  Before the expansion, there were no easyjet flights flying out of southend and now if you live in leigh these flights are the lowest noisiest flights that can be heard early in the morning and late at night.
  
  Ok so these type of aircraft are quieter but they are not quiet and they fly a lot lower than other aircraft from other airports, this can clearly be seen they are easyjet and they are orange how condescending to suggest otherwise .
  
  Complaints. Perhaps the Council and the members that have supported the expansion can explain if a resident complains will this be recorded and if the same person wishes to sell their home due to the expansion, will this compliant need to be disclosed to any potential purchaser? i guess people who know the answer to this will wish to keep quiet to avoid any complications and residents will keep quiet and put up with it until their house is sold. Obviously this scenario suits the Council and they can make condescending statements in respect of the lack of complaints.
  
  The general support of the airport is nothing to do with the Council owning the airport is it? If the Council is benefiting from the expansion then they should also compensate those who have been disadvantaged and there are many who have, perhaps the council are unaware of the true figures of those who have been disadvantaged for the reasons noted above.

  " they fly a lot lower than other aircraft from other airports, this can clearly be seen they are easyjet"
  
  clearly you are a expert on the airbus a319, how many hours have you logged in command of one...none..?
  
  So you are saying they deliberately fly off the localiser/glideslope when on approach and do not fly the noise abatement procedure and miss use their FMGS guidance on take-off....?
  
  whine about the airport if you must, but don't make statements about 'low flying aircraft' when you clearly have no knowledge about what your talking about."
