A few years ago (or maybe 10 years ago, don’t remember exactly how long ago) Delta escorted HVCs through immigration at JFK. There were several reports here on FT but it quickly disappeared. I doubt they will provide a paid assistance for CBP fast track.
AA has a similar service (Five Star), which I used many times in MIA but they made it clear that they would not assist with expediting CBP. I was fortunate to go through CBP very quick but the agent always left me on my own and waited for me on the other side.
