Additional US Global Entry applications

If you are a very FT to the US like I am, then getting Global Entry is probably the best perk a non-US citizen can get and rarely gets a mention.

For the uninitiated it allows a very fast transfer through CBP to the street, even at very busy airports. Typically I am landside inside 15 mins from disembarking even at DFW/JFK/LAX which are notorious for delays.
In addition I can get TSA-Pre while flying domestic which greatly avoids the hassle of getting laptops/fluids/shoes out for inspection and queuing.

My question, for a non-US citizen to get this you need an Airline individual code to proceed with the application and BA now have none (or not releasing to my colleague).

I suspect these are being held until the rapid entry of US flyers through passport control is being felt at UK airports but only a theory of mine.

Is anyone in the know and able to advise on the status of more codes?
