> There has been one death on a commercial airline due to an incident related to operation of the aircraft since 2008

That's close, but not precisely correct. In addition to SWA 1380, there was one death on PenAir 3296 in 2019 and 50 fatalities on Colgan Air 3407 in Feb 2009. All of those were US-operated Part 121 flights. (There were also many non-US commercial airline fatalities in that period, but I'll give you that in context you were referring only to flights operated by US airlines above.)

I misremembered Colgan being 2008. I don’t recall the PenAir incident, I’ll look it up. Thanks for the corrections.

Not to minimize those lost but the point remains, chance of death on a US based 121 carrier is basically a rounding error.
