Route-specific score for IAD–ORD
United Airlines has a fleet coverage of 52.2% for Starlink-equipped aircraft, indicating a moderate rollout stage. However, there are zero confirmed Starlink observations on the IAD-ORD route, so empirical observation does not support a high probability on this specific route. Recent high-confidence news confirms Starlink installations on United's mainline fleet, including inaugural flights with Starlink WiFi, but these are focused on other routes such as EWR-LAS and initial Boeing 737-800 retrofits. Community sightings confirm regional fleet rollout completion but do not specifically mention IAD-ORD. Given the fleet coverage and rollout status, the probability should be anchored near the fleet coverage ratio (0.522) without exceeding it, since no direct route observations exist. Thus, a conservative estimate of 0.52 is appropriate, reflecting fleet coverage but acknowledging lack of route-specific confirmation.
