2 prediction markets price this story:

• Above 186 million — the market puts it at 75%, 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.
• Nonstop / Non-Stop — the market puts it at 55%, closing 31 Mar 2027. The outcome is Yes if any United Airlines representative says "Nonstop" or "Non-Stop" during the next earnings call, including the Q&A session. The outcome is No if neither term is spoken by a representative in that specific call. Readers often mistake this for requiring the word to appear in written materials or other contexts outside the live earnings call.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
