AI Probability Analysis
Route-specific score for IAD–YOW
United Airlines fleet coverage is 51.0% (505/991 aircraft), placing this route in the 40-60% variability zone where aircraft assignment significantly impacts Starlink availability. The IAD-YOW route has zero observed Starlink flights, which anchors the empirical baseline at 0%. However, recent news confirms United's mainline Starlink rollout is actively deployed (first flight October 15, 2025; Newark inaugural January 4, 2026), and community sightings confirm regional fleet completion by February 2026. The contradiction between confirmed rollout status and zero observations on this specific route suggests either: (1) this route typically receives non-equipped aircraft, or (2) insufficient observation data. Given fleet coverage of 51% and strong recent deployment confirmation, the probability should reflect the fleet ratio with modest upward adjustment (+0.10 maximum per calibration rules) to account for active rollout momentum, yielding 0.51. This is conservative relative to fleet coverage and respects the zero-observation empirical baseline.
