Right now, theres a battle brewing over what to rename the airport. Officials want to add San Francisco bay to the airports name. The plan announced last week is getting a lot of pushback, though abc7 News Reporter tim johns looks at why sfo says this name change wont fly by. One of the bay areas major airports could soon be getting a rebrand. Last week, officials with the port of oakland unveiling a plan to rename the citys airport to become San Francisco bay Oakland International airport. Studies have shown that over half of International Travelers and nearly a third of domestic travelers do not know where oakland lies in the San Francisco bay area. Oakland Officials Say they believe the potential name change would help would be travelers clearly identify the airport with the bay area, but the proposal has gotten swift pushback from many on the other side of the bay in San Francisco and at sfo airport. Our concern, especially for International Travelers, is that somebody may book a flight thinking that theyre going to one location, and only when they land do they realize theyre going to a completely different airport. Sfo says while they understand oaklands desire to attract more travelers through its airport piggybacks on its name is not the way to do it. Concerns also raised by travel industry analyst henry harteveldt. Im not surprised because i think it does risk creating confusion in the marketplace, harteveldt says. For years, more and more airlines have been cutting flights in and out of oakland. If they incorporate San Francisco into the name they believe it will help attract more customers and aid. Oakland believes that will help attract more airlines. While the name change isnt yet official, theres also questions over whether travelers would fly into the east bay city, even if they knew where it was. Here at sfo, we talked to several International Travelers who tell us theyd be skeptical to fly into Oakland Airport. That includes mohammed jalal, who was visiting from libya. Mohammed tells us if he ever comes back, hed still choose to fly into sfo, saying with more options and easier access to the city, it remains his preferred choice. The best option when i booked the ticket, they tell me you can use sfo in San Francisco airport. The port of oakland commissioners are set to consider the name change at their meeting on april 11th at sfo airport. Tim johns abc seven news. United airlines is offering voluntary, unpaid leave to its pilots next month, all in an effort to cut overstaffing due to delays in boeings aircraft delivery.

Pilots are expecting to receive similar offers later this year. A pilot known for doing wing walking flights just had his pilots license revoked by the faa. Take a look at that. Michael mason offered classes and flights in california and Washington State for many years. Oh my goodness. For about 1,300, people could climb out of the cockpit, as you see here, onto the wings, as mason did acrobatic maneuvers. Hed take off from a strip of grass in his backyard, and participants did not wear parachutes. They were only attached by a small cable. The faa called his actions rec less. I feel like you can call this a few things reckless will stick with that. So many things dangerous. This mans backyard. Were gonna take off from here. No parachute. Just tether yourself, im not going to be giving somebody money to risk my life, right . Right. Although, i will say i have jumped out of a plane, but i had a parachute on, and it was while he does acrobatic maneuvers. So hes not just. Hes nice for somebody. Oh my goodness.
