Flying out home from Mexico City via Miami last week (5th March 2018) I spoke to the overall desk supervisor for BA in Miami about TSA Pre Check and BA not being involved . She told me BA participation , it is due to start in April. Not sure if this is all US / BA flight airports or just Miami ?

Had my Global Entry interview this morning at the new US Embassy in London (very impressive building and great views). The lady interviewing me mentioned that "British are finally joining Precheck this summer". Not sure if that's a definite but I would assume she is reasonably well informed!

With other airlines, the announcement and rollout seem to be pretty closely tied so I wouldn't expect them to announce participation until they are ready to go live. Hopefully they already have the IT infrastructure done and are just waiting for bureaucratic approval.

The fact that T8 doesn't smell like musty carpet and doesn't feel like you've gone cave exploring while walking around.
You get to fly a new 77W as opposed to a 744 that, while beautiful on the outside, feels like it's still held together with speed tape and hope.

Well, there's the Flagship Lounge.

I had my GE interview at the end of March and was informed by the supervisor who stepped into my interview that BA would be implemented by the end of the summer. She indicated that it would be phased in and it would be by airport initially.
