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 observations on the ORD->RFD route, this is likely due to incomplete flight tracking data rather than absence of Starlink. Recent news confirms active Starlink deployment on United's mainline and regional fleets, including inaugural flights with Starlink WiFi in late 2025 and early 2026. Community sightings confirm completion of regional fleet rollout by early 2026. Given the airline's rollout status as fully deployed and the high fleet coverage, the minimum probability is anchored at the fleet ratio of 0.956 despite zero observations. The confidence is medium-high due to the lack of direct route observations but strong indirect evidence.
