You can change the middle name field as often as you like online without assistance. According to UA Insider, your middle name field should contain your full middle name if that's what's on your passport...and TSA will still allow you to present your driver's license with just the middle initial without problems. According to a FAQ I found on AA's website, TSA doesn't do any validation of middle name at all. AA states that "full name" is "first name" and "last name" ONLY. Technically that should mean that the presence (or lack thereof) of Mr./Ms., Jr., Sr., etc do not matter at all.
