Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee Stop Ignoring Deteriorating Oakland Airport And Redevelop ItHi all. Oakland Vlogger Zennie Abraham here. Saw this posted on Reddit and from someone who travels out of Oakland Airport.They wrote this:Just had family visit – they flew in/out from SoCal on weekdays (left today, arrived a little over a week ago). When they arrived around ~3 PM in the afternoon they were the only plane to land and it took an hour to get luggage off the plane and to the pick up area – there was not enough staff to apparently accomplish that task. The airport appeared to be running on a skeleton crew – everything was empty.Today, on their return flight, the same situation. Terminal 1 has atrophied – there are few businesses left there as well as flights.My take – this is far worse than previous years and in part caused by Southwest’s deteriorating service – they had taken over the aiport as a low cost but frequent commuter service. With PE takeover, they’ve cut back service it appears (can this be corroborated?) and jacked up prices. Ridership has plummeted and OAK airport appears to be taking this to the chest.I read somewhere Alaska may be coming in to compete on a lot of those budget shuttle trips Southwest used to dominate and I hope they fill up the space that Southwest is leaving with this degradation in service quality on their end and it helps OAK airport. But, in the meantime, the situation is really rough at the airport.—–Okay Mayor Lee. Time to build a convention centet at the Oakland Airport.

Note from Oakland News Now Blog, Zennie62 YouTube, and Zennie62Media: this Oakland News Online Blog video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. This is what we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Online Blog site and Zennie62Media -created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, thus less chance for Oakland News Online Blog, Zennie62 YouTube vloggers to be robbed. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
