Objections to Burbank Airport Poll
Our club consists of 856 members. Most of the members live in the East Valley with their families. We object to the jet noise from the heavy air traffic at the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport.
We believe that your survey of 710 people, mostly from the three cities that own the airport, is erroneous and misleading. Not one of our members was polled. And we are 856 individuals plus our spouses and children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
We are the so-called “silent majority,” with no political clout over the Burbank Airport Authority. Your article of May 28 is absolutely incorrect to assume that only a very small percentage of people oppose a new airport terminal. We all do oppose the expansion. We all are annoyed by the hellish jet noise.
