Precheck: one ring to rule them all?
I did not apply for TSA precheck status, however, I noticed that my boarding pass authorizes me for the precheck line. This has consistent for the past 10 months, but I have only been flying on Jetblue during this time. I'd like to think that I am a precheck passenger and that the decision to assign my boarding pass is done by TSA.
Should I expect to be precheck when not flying JetBlue: Delta \ KLM etc?

Besides members of Trusted Traveler programs (such as Global Entry, NEXUS, and SENTRI), some people are permitted to use the TSA Pre-check lanes as part of other TSA programs, such as managed inclusion. For more information, see: https://skift.com/2016/02/16/tsa-precheck-lanes-wont-be-members-only-for-a-long-time-still/
Also, only certain airlines participate in the TSA Pre-check program, so when you are not traveling on these airlines, you will not be eligible for Pre-check, regardless whether you are registered or not. As of July 2, 2016, the airlines participating in TSA Pre-check are:
- Aeromexico
- Air Canada
- Alaska Airlines
- Allegiant Airlines
- American Airlines
- Cape Air
- Delta Air Lines
- Etihad Airways
- Hawaiian Airlines
- JetBlue Airways
- Seaborne Airlines
- Southwest Airlines
- Sun Country
- United Airlines
- Virgin America
- WestJet
If you are not a member of a Trusted Traveler program, then you likely will not be granted access to Pre-check on other airlines, particularly if you do not input your Known Traveler Number "KTN" into the other airlines' systems. TSA advises "Please check when booking that your KTN has populated the appropriate fields in order to qualify for expedited screening."
