Nor does there need to be. Except in one or two USA departing locations, there isn't TSA Preferred security for BA services, and for inbound into the USA the ESTA number is the one that matters, and that's scraped via your passport number and date of birth. The GE number merely relates to some machinery, which isn't available in all locations either.
In addition to AA's field (though I've not got that to work for me yet) US Airways does have a specific field, which does work for me.

All phone calls led to the answer, "The program is being discontinued." And incoming Fast Track has become a joke in most of LHR..
Annoyingly, I don't quite meet the requirements for the pilot scheme (I'm short a visit in the last year)... Hopefully I will when it opens up.

Had my interview at the downtown New York office yesterday - must have hit lucky at grabbing it at a few weeks' notice, because the American lady who was processed at the same time had been waiting months to get an appointment there.
Only two officers there plus a support worker who took the two applicants up in the lift. Had my driving licence and passport taken by the support worker (who was completely confused by the UK driving licence - "do you drive a green car Sir?" - still have no idea how she drew that conclusion) who then handed them over to the officer.
About halfway through the video the officer called me and asked for my police cert, and by the time the video had finished he was ready to take my photo and fingerprints and throw me out of the door - not a single question. That said, my passport expires very shortly and so has a lot of US stamps in it - maybe that was a factor.
All over and done with in a maximum of 10 minutes, and the e-mail arrived within 20. Let's see if EWR is as efficient when MrsNWIFlyer has her interview in a couple of days.

I've just received an email to say I'm now eligible for Pre-check 
My PassId is already in my VX bookings, so will see what happens.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is partnering with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for the TSA Pre✓™ program. TSA Pre✓™ allows eligible passengers to qualify for expedited screening at participating U.S. airports with participating airlines. We are pleased to announce that TSA has extended TSA Pre✓™ eligibility to additional Global Entry program members and you are receiving this email because you have been identified as a Global Entry member who is eligible for TSA Pre✓™
