Bubbles, I worked for 20 years on the South end of this famous runway and I have heard more jetblast and exhaust than you ever will. I have launched and recovered hundreds of jets for many major airlines and I can tell you that the new jets are ALOT quieter. I also live in this area and I can hear aircraft as they climb and bank out of Snohomish County every day and night, including Arlington. I continue my career in Aerospace and support Aviation in my community and I won't "guarantee" you anything but one thing and that's more airplanes. (ALOT more) Alaska Airlines is one of he best airlines in the business, you can lave them out of your comments please.
