southwest issues this weekend. he said bad management had a ripple effect. >> part of the situation is the nature of how southwest works. it's a point-to-point airline, as opposed to the other carriers, where they work from hubs and networks. we ended up where planes and pilots and flight attendants were in the wrong place. >> you can see the full interview tonight at 11:30. cruise ships are coming back to san francisco in droves. the port expects more than 20 cruise calls for the rest of the year. and a record 127 next year.

why is this a big concern? we look at the fire danger index. we get a nice recovery overnight. we fall to 9% in high ward less than 50%. down through the east bay hills, talking about the santa cruz mountains, as well. low humidity with strong, gusty conditions is not something we want to see. we will be seeing cooler weather. temperatures will remain in the 70s. but the wind and the dry conditions will remain through tuesday. we will stick to the cooler temperatures. and on tuesday, once the cold

front passes through, we will see chilly overnight lows. we go from fire danger to cold nights. definitely tie down the patio furniture and make sure things are set. >> thanks very much. after the break, see what it's like when the rivalry is in the same family.

delays partly because of a short j of staff and pre-existing situation. there was air space closed for navy training exercises. southwest had delays. other airlines did, too. it seems like southwest didn't plan around that stuff and recover from it, as well as other airlines. when one thing goes wrong, it can cascade quickly. >> southwest did not manage the situation as well as the other airlines. >> from what we see, it looks like southwest had trouble managing their issue. and the nature how southwest works. it's a point-to-point airline, as opposed to the other carriers

>> do you see long-term impact? i've been seeing people online upset. will this be a long-term problem for southwest? it probably won't be a long-term problem. southwest, especially, they have competitive fares and holds on certain markets. it's possible they don't take a long-term hit. there will be a financial hit from this. they will owe refunds and that kind of thing. >> does this say anything about holiday travel? a lot of people getting ready

for that. this would be a disaster at thanksgiving or christmas. is it predictable? >> a lot of the airlines are doling out the schedule to as many flights of the staff. and with the equipment they have, in the event something goes wrong, like what happened this weekend, that can make it harder. smaets something we could see around the holidays. there's not much room for error. for consumers, the biggest piece of advice, is try to plan as well as you can. fly out early. fly out late. really hope for the best and try to take care of yourself. >> david, thanks for being here tonight.
