United Airlines has a very high fleet coverage ratio of 95.6% with Starlink fully deployed, which sets a strong baseline probability. Although there are zero direct observations on the ORD-ORF route, the critical scoring rule for fully deployed airlines with fleet coverage above 50% mandates using the fleet ratio as the minimum probability. Recent high-confidence news confirms Starlink installation on mainline and regional fleets, including inaugural flights and media tests, supporting the high probability. Community sightings confirm rollout completion on regional fleets. The lack of direct route observations is likely due to incomplete flight tracking data rather than absence of Starlink.
