United Airlines has a fleet coverage of 53.4% with Starlink installed on over 300 regional aircraft and plans to reach over 800 planes soon. However, there are zero direct observations of Starlink on the ORD->RIC route, and no confirmed sightings specific to this route. Recent news confirms Starlink rollout on mainline and regional aircraft, but no direct evidence for this route. Given the lack of route-specific observations, the probability is anchored below the fleet coverage ratio, adjusted downward to 0.40 to reflect uncertainty and absence of direct sightings, but supported by strong fleet-wide rollout and recent news.
