2024-05-11Read this, to start understanding the ‘Greener Skies’ fraud
The 'Greener Skies' program, approved by the FAA in late 2012 and promoted by the FAA and Port of Seattle, promised to dramatically reduce aircraft noise near Sea-Tac Airport by routing more than half of all arrivals over Elliott Bay, far from residential areas. Critics argue the program was fundamentally flawed and never delivered on its promises, as air traffic controllers rarely use the Elliott Bay routes due to the need to merge east- and west-side arrival streams. FAA and industry's own data are cited as evidence that the program amounted to an environmental fraud, with concentrated flight paths continuing to impact west-side communities while east-side routes were never given equivalent precision procedures.
