AI Probability Analysis
Route-specific score for AUS–MDW
Southwest Airlines is currently in the rollout phase with a high fleet coverage ratio of 86.2%, which normally would anchor the probability near that level. However, there are zero observed flights with confirmed Starlink on the AUS->MDW route, and no recent news or community sightings to support a higher probability. Perplexity context indicates no aircraft currently equipped, with rollout starting summer 2026. Given the rollout status and high fleet ratio, the probability floor is set at 0.30 (fleet ratio floor for rolling_out status), reflecting a conservative estimate acknowledging imminent deployment but no current confirmed usage on this route.
