United Airlines has installed Starlink on over 300 regional aircraft and aims for over 800 equipped planes, representing a 53.4% fleet coverage. However, there are no direct observations of Starlink on the FCA-ORD route, and recent news highlights initial mainline deployments primarily on other routes such as EWR-LAS and the first Boeing 737-800 retrofit. Community sightings confirm regional fleet rollout completion but do not specify this route. Given the lack of direct route observations and the fleet coverage, the probability is anchored conservatively near the fleet coverage but adjusted downward due to zero observed flights on this route. The probability is set at 0.35, slightly below fleet coverage, reflecting medium perplexity confidence and recent news indicating rollout is ongoing but not yet widespread on mainline routes like FCA-ORD.
