United Airlines has a fleet coverage of 53.4% Starlink-equipped aircraft, with confirmed installation on over 300 regional planes and plans to exceed 800 by year-end. However, there are zero direct observations of Starlink on the LNK-ORD route, and no specific sightings or news mention this route. Recent high-confidence news confirms Starlink on mainline United flights but only on select routes (e.g., EWR-LAS). Given the lack of direct route observations and the fleet coverage slightly above 50%, the probability is anchored near the fleet ratio but slightly discounted due to zero observations and no route-specific confirmation, resulting in a conservative estimate of 0.40.
