Transport committee  I don't have that information. I don't believe we've studied it. It was addressed in one report by the World Health Organization, but I don't have the information in front of me at this time.

Transport committee  I echo Scott's comments. I'm very good at flying airplanes, but not good at health effects. I leave that to my doctor. I'm sorry.

Transport committee  I have read the World Health Organization's paper and I've read the papers that don't agree with it. I'll have to leave this up to the experts.

Transport committee  I agree with Scott and his comments. We actively monitor our aircraft inside the flight deck. If a pilot raises a concern about the noise in the flight deck, we'll do a study on the flight deck to ensure that the noise level is where it should be. If it's slightly elevated, we'll

Transport committee  Yes.

Transport committee  I remember that when I was hired by Air Canada 32 years ago, I would sit outside the Dorval airport at the Hilton in Dorval and listen to all these wonderful DC-8s, 727s, DC-9s and 737s take off, and I love airplane noise. That's why I got into aviation. To hear the thrust of the

Transport committee  No, no.

Transport committee  No, it's higher.

Transport committee  Yes.

Transport committee  I have the pleasure to fly to most of the major airports in the world. I can say that the noise abatement procedures of Transport Canada, Nav Canada and the local airport authorities are some of the strictest in the world. You have certain countries that don't have any at all,

Transport committee  As far as I'm aware, it's just for the A320 problem.

Transport committee  No, they don't.

Transport committee  The new Boeing aircraft use a consortium engine. Pratt & Whitney is involved with them. There's also a European manufacturer on it.

Transport committee  I'd have to go back to our maintenance division to check. The new Bombardier airplane, the A220, which is the C Series, is built in Montreal. It has a Pratt & Whitney engine. I'm going to have to check the the engine manufacturer on the 737. Unfortunately, I fly the 777, whic

Transport committee  I agree with Scott's comments. For us, it's about efficiency. We plan on being at idle power on approach, from the top of descent all the way to 1,000 feet, because when you're at idle, you make no noise. You make wind noise, and that's it. That's our objective. It reduces gree
