3 prediction markets price this story:

• Before Jun 30, 2027 — the market puts it at 5%, closing 30 Jun 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Starlink confirms an initial public offering before June 30, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often confuse this deadline with the airline's Wi-Fi rollout date mentioned in the linked story.
• Starlink — resolved “Yes” on 21 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if a United Airlines representative mentions Starlink during the company's upcoming earnings call or Q&A session. It resolves to No if this specific mention does not occur within that event. Readers often mistake the source of truth, assuming any news report about Starlink counts instead of requiring a direct statement from United Airlines.
• Above 82% — the market puts it at 91%, closing 27 Apr 2027. The market resolves to Yes if American Airlines Group Inc. reports a passenger load factor above 82% for fiscal year 2026. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the deadline as calendar year 2026 instead of the company's specific fiscal year.
