United Airlines has a fully deployed Starlink rollout with 95.6% fleet coverage, which sets a strong baseline probability. Although there are zero direct observations of Starlink on the XMN->ORD route, the critical scoring rule mandates that for fully deployed airlines with fleet coverage above 50%, the minimum probability must be the fleet coverage ratio. Recent high-confidence news confirms Starlink installation on mainline United aircraft, including inaugural flights and media tests, and community sightings confirm completion of regional fleet rollout. The lack of route-specific observations is likely due to incomplete flight tracking data rather than absence of Starlink. Therefore, the probability is anchored at fleet coverage (0.956) with a very likely confidence tier.
