Delta, AA, USAir, UA all give me precheck when I provide my known traveller ID. Not sure if relevant, but I only carry *A gold, no others. I would have chalked this up to a transborder thing, but then again all AC flights that depart the US are transborder, so I guess I'm not trusted by AC or some other criteria didn't work out.
AC doesn't determine if you're eligible or not (we have no control who gets it or not); TSA determines your eligibility on a flight by flight basis and no one is guaranteed to get it every time just because you have a known traveler number. We simply take the response from TSA and translate it into an appropriate indicator on the boarding pass.
