Airport Security Gets Easier for Select Frequent Flyers
Does anyone know why UA has taken a "pass" on offering this in the early stages of the program? Looks like Delta and AA raised their hands quickly.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say it was merger-related. Part of the PreCheck trial involved those airlines providing data from their FF rolls. UA & CO were still in the middle of the merger (and, thus, were two separate FF programs with LOTS of redundancy, thanks to the matching program), and probably didn't want to ALSO deal with TSA while they tried to get their house in order for 3/3/12.

I'll second Critic's explanation. It almost certainly had to do with integration & merger issues; UA knew they'd have their hands full (though I dare say they severely underestimated how full they'd be) with other issues.

You can now sign up to be considered for inclusion in the programme if I read it right.
Go to your profile in your MP account, and under "saved travellers" is a link for TSA pre=screening program.

For me, I go to:
Once you click that link, you can provide your pass ID (e.g. NEXUS or GE #) and choose to opt in.
- My Account
- Scroll down to "Profile" section (grey box)
- Click "Manage Profile" link
- Look for "Saved Traveler" section (in the grey box)
- Should be a "TSA Prescreening Program" link at the far right of the saved traveler info
Once you click that link, you can provide your pass ID (e.g. NEXUS or GE #) and choose to opt in.
