Route-specific score for SMF–LAX
United Airlines has a very high fleet coverage ratio of 95.6% with Starlink fully deployed across its fleet. Although there are zero direct observations of Starlink on the SMF->LAX route, the critical scoring rule mandates that for fully deployed airlines with fleet coverage above 50%, the probability cannot be scored below the fleet ratio. Recent news confirms active Starlink installation on mainline aircraft and inaugural flights with Starlink on United, supporting a high likelihood of availability on this route. Community sightings confirm completion of rollout on regional aircraft, further supporting the high fleet coverage. Given the lack of direct observations but strong fleet coverage and news evidence, the probability is anchored at the fleet ratio with a very likely confidence tier.
