Route-specific score for CID–ORD
United Airlines has installed Starlink on over 50% of its fleet (53.4%), with confirmed rollout on 300+ regional aircraft and plans to exceed 800 planes soon. However, there are zero direct observations of Starlink on the CID->ORD route, and recent news confirms Starlink presence mainly on regional and select mainline routes like EWR->LAS and the first 737-800 retrofit. Given the lack of route-specific observations and the fleet coverage ratio, the probability is anchored below fleet coverage but elevated by rollout news and regional completion, resulting in a conservative estimate of 0.35.
