United Airlines has a very high fleet coverage of 95.6% with Starlink fully deployed, which sets a strong baseline probability. Although there are zero direct route observations for IAD->PIT, the critical scoring rule mandates using the fleet coverage as a minimum probability for fully deployed airlines with coverage above 50%. Recent news confirms active Starlink deployment on United's mainline and regional fleets, including inaugural flights with Starlink WiFi, supporting a high likelihood of availability on this route. Community sightings confirm completion of rollout on regional aircraft, further reinforcing the estimate. The lack of direct observations is likely due to incomplete flight tracking data rather than absence of Starlink equipment.
