Congratulations, it passed quicker than I thought it would. Now let's see what happens when the rubber meets the road. Below is the bill. So they will "study" till 2022. Then debate the findings, then decide what they might want to do. I have said all along that it will take a long time to get anything changed. In as much as you live in a flight path there is really not a whole lot that can be changed. Even if the jets are quieter, that is a relative term.
