• Oil — resolved “Yes” on 21 Oct 2026. The outcome is Yes if a United Airlines representative mentions oil during the upcoming earnings call or Q&A session. The outcome is No if they do not mention it in that specific event. Readers often mistake any general discussion of fuel costs for this resolution, but only explicit mentions by company representatives on the call count.
• Above 186 million — the market puts it at 84%, with $262 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Mar 2028. The market resolves to Yes if United Airlines reports more than 186 million passengers flown in 2026. It resolves to No if the number is 186 million or fewer. Readers often mistake the deadline, thinking it depends on a specific date rather than the full year's total.
• Above 49.25 million — resolved “Yes” on 21 Oct 2026.
