My experience got me wondering... Since my wife got a "new" locator/record when the PNR split against our will, could that have messed up her chances? Her info was in the traveler spot on UA's website, but her new PNR was created fewer than 24 hours out.

Is there a minimum time needed for UA and TSA to communicate/coordinate records (ie: a batch process run every X hours)? Or is it real time when going to print your boarding pass? (IE: Are people who get the UA PNR split disadvantaged?)

Second question. I saw this article re: AA and Pre-Check and am wonder if there is a SHARES command sequence that might help UA flyers ensure the info has been transmitted? http://upgrd.com/sitinfirst/helpful-...k-tonight.html
