Sorry for your noise problems, but one persons noise is another persons way of life. As a corporate pilot for more than 30 years and someone that lives in the airport traffic area I miss the noise I used to hear everyday. We have an Air National Guard base on the airport which, has over the years I have been here, flew F100s, F4s, F16s, and A10s. About 5 years ago they pulled the real planes and

Re: sky high?!....AT&T raising DirecTV satellite and U-verse TV prices...... - 1 year ago

I think if you are in a contract you will be ok. I just called and got a $40 a month discount for 12 months. I will end up with the price increase. Directv discounts have been getting smaller for the last few years. Two years ago it was $60 a month off, last year it was $50 and now $40. Mine is up in November each year and then in January the raise the price. jims
