The easiest way to become eligible for Pre-Check if not invited by the airline is to apply for NEXUS or Global Entry. Once approved you will get a Trusted Traveler PASS ID that you can add to your resevations.
While this thread is about Pre-Check for United, it contains a lot of info that applies to all airlines:
