My impression is that VX is awaiting TSA approval on their application which may include feeds/system testing. I do not have information to support this guess.
Still, even with approval, a line does not exist today for T3 LAX where VX is based. I know SFO is ready (along with other airports that have shared security lines with other airlines who already have the program).

According to the TSA's webpage: "TSA Pre✓™ is currently available for eligible passengers traveling on Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, US Airways and Virgin America." Their page was updated today.

Hopefully, TDCs will know that Virgin boarding passes are Pre eligible.

Up and running at SFO today.
I did not have my trusted traveller (GE) in my profile though, which I have subsequently updated.
A nice visit to the Loft at LAX too during a layover. Great windows, solid food and drink selection too.

Love the loft @ LAX -- probably one of the best clubs Ive been in. After getting my Global Entry a couple weeks ago - I was told that Virgin hasn't started Pre Check but that if you already had your number, it would work. So far it has.

I assume all you did was update your on line profile with your Trusted Traveler number?
