    I'm a nervous wreck when jets fly one after another... directly overhead... so very low. Life is difficult enough without this. We were given no warnings, affects so many.. not right. I would never have moved near a busy airport but now the airport has come to me!

    Stop the new flight paths that have created constant air traffic, and all the negative things that go with it, over our Seahurst neighborhood.

    We have lived just NE of the airport for 32 years. Why was the Environmental Protection Agency's regulation of noise pollution suspended? Because of the increase of numbers of airplanes which fly so close we're aware of the increase in noise and especially the increase in air pollution; the smell of fuel is scary & alarming regarding health issues. Please take steps to do more to protect the health of those of us living in proximity to Seatac airport.

    The new airplane noise over Seahurst and Burien needs to stop. It has increased significantly over the last few months. Unacceptable. These routes were not necessary a few months ago, go back to the old flight paths.

    The information that was given to the residents of Burien when SeaTac's 3rd runway was proposed doesn't at all match up with the reality of operations, but of course, once the runway opened, everything was handed over to the FAA so that the Port of Seattle and local government could wash their hands of any responsibility. But oh, the noise! The pollution! The air traffic! Cargolux landing at 10:50 pm at night in the summer when the windows are open! It's criminal that urban dwellers are expected to function in this kind of environment.

    The airplane noise pollution has gotten out of control the number of flights coming in and out of the airport in the middle of the night is ridiculous even with double pane double windows and sliding glass doors the noise pollution is outrageous this needs to be stopped

    Please stop sending planes over my house. These West directed take-offs from SeaTac airport were not something I signed on for when I bought my house 3 years ago! Alaska Air has been sending prop jets over my house to the West of the airport for weeks now and it is very irritating!

    In 2012, without prior warning, public hearings or environmental studies, the FAA took away the quality of our lives in Queens, New York with the flawed implementation of NextGen technology at New York airports. There is a difference between tolerable and EXCESSIVE airplane noise. NextGen technology has forced ordinary citizens to become airplane noise experts who are trying to understand how this intolerable situation happened to us. NextGen flight patterns make airplane fly too low, too loud and too frequently over residential neighborhoods. Thank goodness for the Congressional Quiet Skies Caucus. Thank goodness for Representative Grace Meng and Senators Schumer and Gillibrand for introducing legislation to restore funding to the EPA's office of Noise Abatement. If the FAA's mandate is air traffic safety, then it should be the EPA's mandate to protect the lives of citizens living under NextGen flight patterns. Did anyone stop to consider the consequences of NextGen flight patterns? Isn't it also time for the airline industry to catch up with new airplane and jet engine designs that improve noise and fuel consumption? Isn't it time for the airline industry to join in the efforts to "go green" before coastal flooding due to climate change threatens to flood all the airports in New York?

    There is clearly an increase to the amount of air travel that is going over our heads here in Burien. I'm starting to think that they are 'sneaking' flights over our airspace, thinking we won't do anything about it. Hopefully this is the first step in addressing the issue.

    I am already chronically ill with Lupus and migraines. Since I moved here 2 years ago I have gotten much sicker. Just had cancer surgery as well last month. I don't sleep till I am exhausted because the planes flying low enough every 90 seconds shake the house keep me awake. Thank god I am moving in a few month's. I feel very sorry for all the people and animal's who have to stay and continue to be poisoned and disrupted. When out side you can't even have a simple conversation with anyone due to excessive plane noise. I am shocked this is even allowed to happen.
