The GE and KTN matters will always be a mystery to me. We generally fly AA but every so often we use JB and occasionally Delta, none of which do we have any status so I know that's got nothing to do with it.

Neither my DH nor I have either GE or a KTN, and yet, as infrequently as we fly - generally only two to four times a year if that - I always get that most coveted and hoped for 'pre-check okay' on my Boarding Pass. John never does. And that said, I seriously hope I haven't jinxed myself on that score.

But over the course of the past few international trips I've asked those in charge at the various C&I desks why that might be the case, and each person I've spoken to has given me a completely different reason, and being that it's a government program in the first place, that makes perfect (non)sense to me.
