Rumbling skies 10:22pm on 07 Jan 2009 At what point do we say enough is enough and put a limit on the total number of flights allowed in our airspace in a year? Do we just keep building more runways and more terminals as demand increases? When do we stop?

If we decide upon a number, with the increasing efficiency of engines, we should hopefully see a gradual reduction in both chemical and noise pollution. Oh, unless they build super jumbos...

I'm not against planes, I'm going on one on Saturday, but I do find it a bit ridiculous that it is cheaper for me to take a polluting jet up to Edinburgh than jump on the train. Stop the increasing number of runways and build some more train tracks.

I lived in Reading for 4 years and worked there for even longer. Although nostalgia occasionally kicks in, I'm glad concord no longer roars across the sky.
Thought for the Day: "a genuinely difficult question" 5:56pm on 07 Jan 2009 There is a place for fiction on Radio 4 and we should see this 3 minute slot as one of these.

However, we should certainly widen the range of contributors to include more non-religious views to more clearly reflect the makeup of our society. How about views from the major professions, industry and charity leaders or just random academics.
