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 of Starlink on the PBI->IAH route, the critical scoring rule mandates using the fleet coverage ratio as a minimum probability for fully deployed airlines with coverage above 50%. Recent high-confidence news confirms Starlink installation on mainline United aircraft and inaugural flights with Starlink on various routes, supporting the high probability. Community sightings confirm completion of rollout on regional fleets, further reinforcing the estimate. The lack of direct observations on this route is likely due to incomplete flight tracking data rather than absence of Starlink service.
