Also, you reduce the chances of encountering a surly CBP officer at passport control. The GE kiosk doesn't have a bad day.
One woman in line said that TBIT had more machines, so we wouldn't have faced this. Also, it seems that having GE allows one to use the GE exit lane even with a paper form if it is based on kiosk issues. Presumably, just show the GE sticker in the passport along with the paper form.

This was our first such experience. But, as we like the LAX-LHR AA flight (being SJC-based), we will likely face this again. We have 10 hours to fill out the form

Actually, if we don't date it until needed, we can just keep the same single form until needed since it will always be the same flight number...

Cheers.
