I have yet to get PreCheck when flying LY (ex-EWR).
Before anyone says, "they're not a carrier on the list," I know many people who have gotten it for a variety of reasons - officially printed on their BPs.
Anyone ever get it, officially printed or not?

Very interesting. I also was of the impression that they are not a carrier on the list. I do Global entry so would love to participate in pre-check. I hate walking barefoot ( or just in stockings) on the dirty JFK floor.

Ya, I have 100% success with UA thanks to GE.
I've also been funneled into the line when flying BA by showing my GE card instead of my passport.
Zero luck with LY though

PreCheck requires the airline to be able to A) interface with the TSA's system and B) be able to accept TSA output for marking the boarding pass.
Does anyone here think LY has an IT department that's competent to carry that out?
