9:33 am
san francisco adding it to oakland airport. it's really causing a lot of havoc. those in san francisco are not too happy about it. take a look on your screen. this is the current name of oakland airport and the name that they want to essentially change it to. and this all came up in conversation when it was announced by the port of oakland last week saying that they want to make the change because they believe it could help bring more travelers to oakland airport, adding that a lot of travelers around the world in the country don't realize how close oakland is to san francisco. were you in that? it's in the bay area. and after the announcement, san francisco supervisor, aaron peskin needed post to twitter saying essentially, you know, imitation is the highest form of flattery. but the ad really isn't that neighborly. and we're not really going stand for and as a polticial is also commented saying they don't like the idea. but we spoke with some travelers this morning. we're also east bay residents. take a listen to what they had to >> stale why do you think that some people people are going to get confuse i going to san
9:34 am
francisco, mike? and sure it's so recipe for confusion. >> and that confusion is essentially what sfl officials said. it is going to happen. they say they've used the name san francisco since the late 20's and that people who are flying into the bay area and make it confused back out here live. in addition, other people have also said the city should be focusing on getting another major league team here. they're saying that they're trying to steer away from open rather than keeping oakland rates. and overall, the sense is that i've gathered here this morning was people in oakland, one oakland airport to be represented as but i have not heard one person say that they want to at san francisco do with that information. what you will, darren james and everyone at home as we get more from officials in san francisco, if they plan to officially ban together and oppose this name change or oakland decides to make that name change will keep you updated live this morning oakland airport for

9:36 am
on social media and in the news the last few months. but travel experts are not seeing changes in trends when it comes to bookings. it seems that travelers still find convenience and price to be the most important passengers traveling on a united flight from frankfurt, germany, to sfo friday. >> had a less than pleasant experience when one of the plane's toilets might deter me from passengers were accommodated in hotels in frankfurt and put on a different flight the next day. >> i spoke with travel industry analyst henry harteveldt about the incident that happened on the united flight between frankfurt and francisco was embarrassing. we don't know the cause of it, whether it was caused >> a passenger who may put something down the toilet that shouldn't have gone down there or whether there was a problem with the lavatory that was not discovered before the aircraft left frankfurt, a united spokesperson said the incident involved a maintenance issue with one of the aircraft's lavatories. the latest in a series of mechanical and safety issues involving the airline. but it did not deter travelers like vincent wong
9:37 am
for booking united for us. were not really. >> committee need. >> airline, just whatever is easiest passes that our schedule. that seems to be the industry trend, according to heart of belt, he says that united ceo scott kirby send an e-mail to members of the airlines mileageplus. loyalty is program acknowledging the recent maintenance issues and promising an increase of training for maintenance workers. and yes, united has unfortunately had a series of problems and many of them ended both flights to or from san francisco. >> but i'm not hearing or seeing any data that's just people are quitting united north of. i think anyone should. harteveldt says the ntsb will not be investigating the united flight that had the toilet overflow since they only investigate the most serious incidents. the faa has said that it will be stepping up its oversight of united sending more inspectors to airports reporting at sfo. i'm rob nesbitt kron. 4 news. >> the a's and the city of oakland are meeting today about a lease extension at the

9:39 am
he has stood by the whole time saying that he thinks the agency in oakland. but here's a little bit more of what he has to say. he says he expresses his sincere help. they remain in oakland. he's always wanted that. but he says sacramento would be a good temporary landing spot if these needed one. >> trial involving tesla is set to begin next week in a case where a 2 year-old toddler was behind the wheel. this was in the south bay, a woman there is filed this lawsuit. she was 8 months pregnant at the time of the crash back in 2018. she says their tesla was parked in the driveway when her son crawled into the driver seat and somehow turn the car on. she says he then crashed into their garage pending her to the garage wall. a neighbor was able to backed the car up and free her. she ended up going to the hospital with severe injuries and a jury will now determine if tesla was in any way to blame for that crash. dozens of rideshare drivers are asking for higher pay and better working conditions. they rallied outside.
