Here’s a dirty little secret about American Airlines: President Scott Kirby says about 87 percent of its passengers fly once or less per year and that represents more than half of the airline’s revenue.

This is something I've wondered about since the inception of Pre.
If 13% of travelers fly one or more times a year, is that enough for TSA to fully staff the program they are trying to sell people? Or will they continue to give it away to people who could never qualify for it while refusing to supply it to the very people who paid for it?
