you have southwest pointing the finger to air traffic control and the faa says not so fast. do we know what caused this? >> it's a huge ripple effect, pamela. southwest has this started on friday with air traffic control issues and weather. that was on friday. the faa as you point output out this statement saying there was really no other issues yesterday or today and in fact, the weather was good across most of the country. no big air traffic control caused delays. the real issue is southwest paired down the schedule because of the pandemic. it's flying few airplanes trying to pack as many people as people so the airline issued a statement saying it's making it harder to get the operation back to normal. 1100 flights cancelled today. 800 yesterday. the real question is when this will end we have seen in the massive meltdowns with airlines in the past it's not like flipping on a switch that it does take time for airlines to return to normal. so i just checked. i'm flight aware shows the number of the cancellations. no major cancellations yet for southwest airlines tomorrow b

the faa has denied current problems, saying that there have been nocoroissues extent. sunday alone, southwest canceled one quarter of all of their scheduled flights. compared to less than 2% of american airlines. in a separate statement on sunday, the union representing southwest pilots denied that the issues were caused by the recent vaccine mandate, issues of which had been circulating online, saying that there were false claims of job actions by pilots gaining traction on social media and making their way into mainstream news and i can say with certainty that there are no work slowdowns or sick outs related to the recent vaccine mandates or otherwise. as of sunday evening, flights flying out of the airport operated almost as normal and the airline says they are working diligently to address remaining problems, little comfort for some travelers. >> it would be nice if they answer the phone or at least tried to get you another flight. >> today in their fight to protect the cultural heritage. >> and the best of fleet week. the best don't worry, ma. we'll be there soon.

the faa has taken a fairly arms elect approach to this. if you're the person willing to strap themselves into this, sign all the waivers and go for the ride, go for it they say. what they're worried about more in their regulatory mission is something happening that would land on the ground and hurt innocents. as time goes on and more and more people decide to become a part of this, that might change. we might have to think about a safety regimen that protects the passengers. i don't know how that's all going to sort out. too many regulations can make it difficult to explore. >> there are questions about the environmental impact. while there's talk about cleaner fuels, the reality is there's a lot of waste generated. that's a concern, too. do you think that is getting enough attention? is it being glossed over? >> i worry about the climate emergency, don't get me wrong. in the grand scheme of the fossil fuels and greenhouse gases we put in the environment, this is pretty much a pinprick. there's a lot of weird optics here, racing each other

weather in florida led to cancellations due to faa required air traffic management program. those led to domino effect into saturday. passengers told us they just can't wait and hope to get on rebooked flight sunday. >> need to go home today. >> reporter: east bay man trying to get home from chicago told me he booked on other airline and arrived a short time ago at sfo. cost him $600, unexpected expense he plans to take up with southwest once he gets rest after a very long day of traveling. in san jose, thom jensen, nbc bay area news. >> also keeping eye on the changing weather tonight. walnut creek and dublin, gusty winds moving in. this time tomorrow, fire weather watch for parts of the east bay and north bay will be in effect. has pg&e taking action. if you live in areas in yellow, you could lose power starting monday. safety shutoff is planned for monday. set to impact people in five bay area counties, alameda, contra costa, solano, napa. >> we enjoyed a beautiful day, sunshine team, expected to be lovely but we have changes. 58 in san francisco. notice how clear tonight

i also think it's shady to throw the faa under the bus with blaming them and weather, and i think they of credibility coming out and saying that. they're feeding these conspiracy theories because they were not honest about the true reason for the cancellations, so i think they need to do a much better job not just at pr but also with customer service. thousands of passengers weren't even notified that flights were cancelled. my friend was rescheduled on a flight at 4:00 in the morning, he got an e-mail he had to be there at six. southwest needs to learn from this, and frankly all airlines need to do a lot better getting new people to work at the airlines, training pilots, that's going to be a huge issue in the coming years. >> you flagged when you're looking at melt downs like this, don't worry about the vaccine mandates, or even just staffing shortages but also new rules. what new rules? >> new rules, not exactly sure what you're asking. >> that the melt down isn't just about staffing with pilots but also new rules that mandate crew rest, pilots needing to be behind the door of a hote

>> they would have to share it with the faa and with safety bodies. we know something about the errors that boeing made and the 737, and they were subject to greater transparency after investigations. so propriety information has limits, and e those limits needo be recognized as outmoded. algorithms and other aspects of facebook's business model weaponizes anger, self-hatred for children, really plays a destructive role in our discourse. >> do you think the regulation is open them up to liability? >> excellent question. and i've advocated eliminating the shield to private liability that big tech currently has. it's an outmoded protection. it's near-committee immunity from suit, upwards of 10, 15 years. i think we're at the point now where facebook can be held accountable along with the other big tech companies without reducing its financial success materially. and that's really one of the most powerful points made by the whistle-blower. she said facebook offers a false choice, profitability versus responsibility. there can be both as long as facebook
