Harry--I'm not talking about Global Entry. I'm talking about paying the airline a fee to get pre-check, without there being ANY additional screening at all. Jet Blue does it, I know, in Orlando. Not sure what airlines do it where..
Carol we paid it one time and didn't see any advantage. THEN next trip hubby wanted it again. He thought maybe the last time the delay was because of heavy volume. So I paid again and again we watched those who hadn't paid go thru TSA faster than we did. I asked why and TSA told me the airline only pays for one dedicated TSA agent. So you're right, it isn't worth it.
Maybe AA (as stated by previous poster) was paying for more than one agent and now will either pay for only one or for none thus becoming of no use?
