AS are parsing MR as a given name as they're not expecting a title.

TSA Precheck should go in easily; it doesn't validate in the GDS against the name entered, it accepts whatever is entered, even if the name or the Precheck are entered incorrectly.

The AS FQTV might be trying to validate against your AS profile, in which case it will never be an exact match. It should be close enough to still be accepted, but that's up to AS's rules.

BA are unlikely to make an award booking without a title, AS computers are unlikely to ever recognise that part of the name is a title.
