Two things, it specifically says (from above):
Trusted Traveler participants will need to enter their CBP-assigned PASS ID number (located on the top right-hand corner of their Global Entry card) in the “Known Traveler Number’ field when booking travel reservations.
That makes it clear that the PASS ID must be entered on the specific reservation. Airlines not participating generally don't even have that field, making those airlines ineligible. Also, that shows that the information MUST be sent in advance.
Also, from the TSA website:
TSA Pre✓™ is currently available for eligible participants, who have opted in at the following airport checkpoint locations:
Atlanta (ATL): T-South Checkpoint (Delta only)
Dallas (DFW): Terminal C, Checkpoint C30 (American only)
Detroit (DTW): Checkpoint 2 on the ticketing level (Delta only)
John F. Kennedy (JFK): Terminal 8 Main Checkpoint (American only)
Las Vegas (LAS): D Gates First Class Checkpoint (American and Delta)
Los Angeles (LAX): TSA Pre✓™ screening lane (American only)
Miami (MIA): D2 Checkpoint (American only)
Minneapolis (MSP): Lindbergh Terminal, Checkpoint 4 (American and Delta)
Salt Lake City (SLC): Terminal 2 Checkpoint (Delta only)
That specifically shows that it is only available to those specific airlines at those specific airports at those specific checkpoints.
