I'm no math wizard but I've read 68k people die per year from preventable shit due to denied claims. Brian worked at United since 2004, CEO since 2021 so he contributed directly or indirectly to that number of deaths per year, at least the portion United is responsible for. United has double the industry average of rejected claims.

It's def higher than OP states.

The 51k estimate was just taking into account the time that he was CEO.
