    So im confused. Not the same airlines nor airport between the deaths, but the accidents are so rare they mentioned both? yet delta says it is unrelated to safety procedures, but again this happens rarely enough to bring up it happened twice recently?

    Are people overworked and falling asleep? Last i heard they’re understaffed anyway?
