His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>It might seem like everyone thinks their local airport is the worst of them all: the longest security lines, the worst food, the most delays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriouspodcastinfo]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But we in the Bay Area have good reason to complain. According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.bts.gov/\">Bureau of Transportation Statistics\u003c/a>, in 2018 \u003ca href=\"https://www.bts.gov/node/224131\">SFO was the third-most-delayed major airport in the U.S. in terms of arrivals\u003c/a>, with about 26 percent of arriving flights delayed. And that’s not unique to last year. Since 2010, SFO has consistently ranked in the top four of the most delayed airports, some years dipping as low as 69 percent of flights arriving on time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what is it about SFO? It all boils down to three things: fog, runways and air traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Curse you, Karl!\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While San Francisco might not have blizzards or hurricanes, it turns out a little bit of fog can go a long way to hinder operations at SFO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On a clear day, aircraft at SFO can land side by side, because the two pilots on each aircraft are able to look out the window, see each other and maintain separation,” says SFO spokesman Doug Yakel. “The problem is when it becomes foggy, and those two aircraft can no longer see one another.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When pilots can’t visually maintain distance from other planes, they must rely on instruments. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), aircraft must maintain a distance of 4,300 feet when landing side by side in periods of low visibility. However, the two runways primarily used for landings at SFO are only 750 feet apart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11772413\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11772413 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/RS3592_IMG_4264-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"A scenic view of SFO.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A scenic view of SFO. \u003ccite>(Molly Samuel/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So when it’s too foggy, aircraft can’t land side by side at SFO anymore. Instead of landing 60 planes in 60 minutes, like SFO can do on a clear day, they can land about half that number.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FAA also employs a\u003ca href=\"https://www.fly.faa.gov/Products/AIS_ORIGINAL/shortmessage.html\"> Ground Delay Program,\u003c/a> where flights destined for SFO are held at their originating airports until they are given clearance to take off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Think about metering lights going on to a bridge, for example, where you need to meter the traffic that’s going into that area, because there’s more demand than there is space,” says Yakel. “That’s essentially what happens in bad weather at SFO.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFO’s runways were built so close together because they were constructed in the 1940s, when there was much less air traffic. As air travel has become more popular, the distance between runways has made weather more of a limiting factor.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Busiest in the Bay\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The fog doesn’t delay planes at other local airports nearly as much. In 2018, San Jose International Airport’s (SJC) arrivals were 82 percent on time, while those at Oakland International Airport were 81 percent on time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFO is the seventh-busiest airport in the United States, \u003ca href=\"https://www.bts.gov/airport-rankings-2018\">boarding almost 28 million passengers\u003c/a>. According to Yakel, two-thirds of the Bay Area’s air traffic goes through SFO, with OAK and SJC essentially splitting the remaining third.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If SFO had the same level of flight activity as [the Oakland or San Jose airports], weather probably won’t be as much of a factor,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Deal with Departures\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While Yakel says fog doesn’t directly affect departures, its effect on arrivals does trickle down. At the very beginning of the day, all of the planes departing SFO have been kept there overnight. So even if it’s foggy, their departures shouldn’t be affected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for the rest of the day, most departing planes depend on an arriving plane, so it can load up passengers and head to the next destination. If the arriving flight is delayed, perhaps by fog, then the departing flight will be delayed as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Improvements on the Horizon\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Yakel says that SFO is working with the FAA to address the delays and they are already seeing improvements. On low-visibility days SFO could once land only 27 planes per hour. Recently they’ve gotten that number into the high 30s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Twenty years ago it would have taken additional runways,” he says. “In the years to come, technology is going to address this issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FAA has been\u003ca href=\"https://www.faa.gov/nextgen/\"> overhauling the nation’s air transportation system\u003c/a> in an attempt to make air travel more efficient and precise.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Fun Facts\u003c/h3>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider doing carry-on when flying American Airlines.

And that’s not unique to last year. Since 2010, SFO has consistently ranked in the top four of the most delayed airports, some years dipping as low as 69 percent of flights arriving on time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what is it about SFO?

According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), aircraft must maintain a distance of 4,300 feet when landing side by side in periods of low visibility. However, the two runways primarily used for landings at SFO are only 750 feet apart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11772413\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11772413 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/RS3592_IMG_4264-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"A scenic view of SFO.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A scenic view of SFO. \u003ccite>(Molly Samuel/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So when it’s too foggy, aircraft can’t land side by side at SFO anymore. Instead of landing 60 planes in 60 minutes, like SFO can do on a clear day, they can land about half that number.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FAA also employs a\u003ca href=\"https://www.fly.faa.gov/Products/AIS_ORIGINAL/shortmessage.html\"> Ground Delay Program,\u003c/a> where flights destined for SFO are held at their originating airports until they are given clearance to take off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Think about metering lights going on to a bridge, for example, where you need to meter the traffic that’s going into that area, because there’s more demand than there is space,” says Yakel. “That’s essentially what happens in bad weather at SFO.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFO’s runways were built so close together because they were constructed in the 1940s, when there was much less air traffic. As air travel has become more popular, the distance between runways has made weather more of a limiting factor.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Busiest in the Bay\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The fog doesn’t delay planes at other local airports nearly as much. In 2018, San Jose International Airport’s (SJC) arrivals were 82 percent on time, while those at Oakland International Airport were 81 percent on time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFO is the seventh-busiest airport in the United States, \u003ca href=\"https://www.bts.gov/airport-rankings-2018\">boarding almost 28 million passengers\u003c/a>. According to Yakel, two-thirds of the Bay Area’s air traffic goes through SFO, with OAK and SJC essentially splitting the remaining third.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If SFO had the same level of flight activity as [the Oakland or San Jose airports], weather probably won’t be as much of a factor,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Deal with Departures\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While Yakel says fog doesn’t directly affect departures, its effect on arrivals does trickle down. At the very beginning of the day, all of the planes departing SFO have been kept there overnight. So even if it’s foggy, their departures shouldn’t be affected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for the rest of the day, most departing planes depend on an arriving plane, so it can load up passengers and head to the next destination. If the arriving flight is delayed, perhaps by fog, then the departing flight will be delayed as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Improvements on the Horizon\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Yakel says that SFO is working with the FAA to address the delays and they are already seeing improvements. On low-visibility days SFO could once land only 27 planes per hour. Recently they’ve gotten that number into the high 30s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Twenty years ago it would have taken additional runways,” he says. “In the years to come, technology is going to address this issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FAA has been\u003ca href=\"https://www.faa.gov/nextgen/\"> overhauling the nation’s air transportation system\u003c/a> in an attempt to make air travel more efficient and precise.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Fun Facts\u003c/h3>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider doing carry-on when flying American Airlines.

This area is the busiest section of the airport’s runway system, and more than 68% of flights crossed over it in 2018, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.flysfo.com/28l-reconstruction-faqs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SFO’s website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deep pavement repair requires two of the airport’s four runways to be closed at all times and is typically done only twice a century, according to Yakel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this isn’t the first time SFO has repaired this runway in recent years. In 2017, the airport repaved its entire top layer, which should last eight to 10 years, but discovered the base layer’s fatigue during the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After additional investigation, airport staff decided the best solution would be to excavate a 1,900-foot section of the runway to ensure long-term reliability. The federally-funded project is expected to cost $16.2 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The runway will be closed for 20 days, and the airport is expected to resume normal operations on Sept. 27.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a terrible time for SFO to do this work. It is the start of the business travel season,” said Harteveldt, the travel industry analyst. “I am concerned that there could be a long negative hangover in terms of how people view San Francisco International Airport and San Francisco itself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the project team stated it selected the three-week time period from Sept. 7-27 after input from airlines at SFO, hoping to avoid busy summer and holiday travel seasons. The time period also has a low probability for rain, which could affect the asphalt paving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11773273\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11773273\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/GettyImages-1173446765-e1568069919612.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1283\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Travelers sit on a bench at San Francisco International Airport on Sept. 9, 2019. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>How can you avoid flight delays or cancellations?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you’ve already booked a flight at SFO during the next several weeks, you can ask your airline about a fee waiver to reschedule your flight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>United Airlines is already \u003ca href=\"https://www.united.com/CMS/en-US/travel/news/Pages/travelnotices.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">offering fee waivers\u003c/a> for travelers to change their flights or connect in a different city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Naturally, travelers on Twitter started expressing their frustration within the first few days of the reconstruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/zekyl314/status/1170397637515907073\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Ketgirl123/status/1170842553022697472\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/oallenprice/status/1171100542925279232\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you can’t avoid a trip between now and Sept. 27, it might be a better idea to fly out of another major Bay Area airport, such as Oakland or San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For travelers who must fly out of SFO, the airport suggests you book an early-morning flight before 9 a.m. for the best chance at avoiding long delays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Sara Hossaini and Angela Corral contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003cbr>\nCorrection: The article identified the number of delays as of Tuesday afternoon as 1,1154.

This area is the busiest section of the airport’s runway system, and more than 68% of flights crossed over it in 2018, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.flysfo.com/28l-reconstruction-faqs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SFO’s website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deep pavement repair requires two of the airport’s four runways to be closed at all times and is typically done only twice a century, according to Yakel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this isn’t the first time SFO has repaired this runway in recent years. In 2017, the airport repaved its entire top layer, which should last eight to 10 years, but discovered the base layer’s fatigue during the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After additional investigation, airport staff decided the best solution would be to excavate a 1,900-foot section of the runway to ensure long-term reliability. The federally-funded project is expected to cost $16.2 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The runway will be closed for 20 days, and the airport is expected to resume normal operations on Sept. 27.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a terrible time for SFO to do this work. It is the start of the business travel season,” said Harteveldt, the travel industry analyst. “I am concerned that there could be a long negative hangover in terms of how people view San Francisco International Airport and San Francisco itself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the project team stated it selected the three-week time period from Sept. 7-27 after input from airlines at SFO, hoping to avoid busy summer and holiday travel seasons. The time period also has a low probability for rain, which could affect the asphalt paving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11773273\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11773273\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/GettyImages-1173446765-e1568069919612.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1283\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Travelers sit on a bench at San Francisco International Airport on Sept. 9, 2019. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>How can you avoid flight delays or cancellations?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you’ve already booked a flight at SFO during the next several weeks, you can ask your airline about a fee waiver to reschedule your flight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>United Airlines is already \u003ca href=\"https://www.united.com/CMS/en-US/travel/news/Pages/travelnotices.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">offering fee waivers\u003c/a> for travelers to change their flights or connect in a different city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Naturally, travelers on Twitter started expressing their frustration within the first few days of the reconstruction.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
