Joe, serious question here - is it maybe a safety thing? If there's a problem over land, the helicopter can at least try to land, albeit perhaps not successfully. If over water, there's not even a chance of landing successfully.
To me, I understand why the routes are what they are - for quickest and most direct routing, meaning the least gas consumed and the most trips per day. I also understand why those in the path are upset. Isn't the easiest fix to just increase the minimum height they travel at, and/or mandate some sort of muffling device (to the extent there is anything like that)?
