2 prediction markets price this 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 186 million — the market puts it at 83%, with $3k 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.
