A shot of a cloudy sfo, a packed united flight to the bay area causing concern over Passenger Health and social distancing. Our reporter talk to the earline about how theyre going to prevent this from happening again. Mac airlines have cut flights and said consolidated flight routes and that has raised concerns about fewer but fuller flights. In response to the backlash from photos like these showing full flights with little if any social distancing, United Airlines announced a brandnew policy giving passengers 24 hours warning if the flight is expected to be full, and an opportunity to cancel or rebook. There were 15 passengers so was the most empty. Reporter that was a relief for anna, flying for the First Time Since the start of the operating i was very concerned about how the safety in the airport an airplane was going to be, if the airplane was going to be full, if there was going to be enough separation. Reporter airlines have seen the number of passengers on planes plummet during the pandemic. United estimates 85 percent of its flights are less than half full, but the airline says it cannot always guarantee social distancing writing, given our significantly reduced schedule, we want to ensure customers have an opportunity to get to their destinations, particularly in places where we are only operating a single flight per day, so some flights may have more customers on board than others. Its a policy that got mixed reviews from passengers. I would feel very comfortable if there were a person on my left and right. One of the passengers was right behind me, i didnt really like it. If he gets more crowded i will feel uncomfortable. Reporter other airlines have adopted more stringent social distancing rules, American Airlines for example has capped capacity and leaving half of its middle seats empty, giving flight attendants and passengers the flexibility to space themselves out. The airlines plans will have to address both safety and economics, a nearly empty flight is in a profitable one, but if you try to crowd too many people on board, passengers might not feel comfortable coming back. The cdc just released a report stating the california Health Department failed to stop the coronavirus from coming into the state. According to the report, Health Officials were able to identify just three positive cases out of more than 11,000 travelers from china and iran in february and march, the report recommended more efficient methods of collecting and transmitting data which include airlines writing flight information to federal officials and using text messaging to reach all travelers at risk more quickly. The pandemic has devastated cities up and down the state including the city of richmond which is less than two months to close a 27 million deficit for the next fiscal year.

Its been over five weeks sie laablell in bay weve got more chances and its been a while since weve seen two people in the same room on one of our newscasts as well. We are well more than six feet apart. More rain on the way, it will reduce the potential to go of out and violate social distancing guidelines by hitting the beach or anything like that, with additional shower chances tomorrow and again on wednesday. We got showers out there right now, lets take a look and zoom around, some of the heavy rain has been falling over napa county for about the past 90 minutes or so, is making his way farther and farther to the east and northeast. Sonoma county had heavy rain earlier in the day and its leaking its way further east. Heavier showers of the east bay, a little bit in Alameda County, sparser showers around san jose at the moment, we will be seeing the same pattern repeating itself over the next couple of days with a better chance of additional showers for the north bay and not as much further south. Lets added up with future cast if we put everything in motion, a few more showers making their way on shore right now, just like shower activity this evening but more showers possible tomorrow especially the first half of the day and more possible on wednesday. These numbers are not very impressive, maybe another quarter inch of rain for sa aviest rain otherwise were talking a few hundredths of an inch, maybe just over a 10th of an inch in the heaviest showers but thats not a whole lot. The chapter right now still stands at 56 degreesin santa rosa, otherwise low to mid 60s across the board with all the cloud cover overhead and still some scattered showers so be cautious with those out our plans, if you want to get the dog out for a walk. Thank you to pigpens humans for sharing that picture with us, low 60s in union city where pigpen is from. Maybe leave a towel by the door to wipe off the pause before you come inside with some puddle still on the road at least in spots. Low to mid 50s by early tomorrow morning, temperatures dont warmup a lot throughout the day, were talking mostly mid 60s around the bay, upper 60s to around 70 degrees farther inland, more of a warm up once our vengeance is diminished but thats not really going to happen until thursday and friday, a couple dry days to finish up the work week and then we see march our chances this weekend especially saturday night continuing into sunday and monday. I will have another update coming up at 7 00. I can smell the grass already, nearly 2 months to the day springtraining was suspended, Major League Baseball has a plan in place to begin the 2020 season. Major League Baseball owners have reportedly approved a proposal to have opening day on the fourth of july weekend, the plan will now be presented to the Players Association on tuesday. There are still plenty of hurdles to clear, but here are some key points. A 50 50 revenue split between the owners and players, spring training would start in early june at the teams home ballpark rather than arizona and florida. The regularseason would be cut down to 82 games, mostly against Division Opponents and the postseason will expand from 5 to 7 teams in each league. Heres the sticking point, the Players Association is not concerned so much about health as that 50 50 revenue split that goes against their collective bargaining agreement. Thats going to be a problem. The head of the Players Union told the athletic, that the league is trying to take advantage of a Global Health crisis to get what they failed to achieve in the past, suggest they know exactly how this will be received. A presentation to the Players Association will happen tomorrow. On this day 13 years ago, there davis tore the roof off roaricle. Do you believe now .
