MY own observation of one occurrence is that the pilots will HAVE to
get highly organized, which is not their normal state.
Here in Chandler, AZ, the anti-airport crazies showed just how
organized they can be, and it was a very impressive grass-roots
effort. Unfortunately, there wasn't any integrity at all to their
campaign, but accuracy doesn't get a vote.

Since pilots are a minority of the population, it gets very
challenging to win a vote.

Since developers are behind most of the anti-airport action, you can
expect them to lie, exaggerate and rabble-rouse to the max. Just look at
Hamilton AFB, Reid-Hillview, Moffett, Sand Point, El Toro, for starters.

Developers are the biggest campaign contributors in the country, at
state and local levels. It is an uphill battle, but it CAN be won!
