Non-GE members can apply for TSA Pre separately, but eligibility is currently limited to US Citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents.

VA are participating. See more...

Correct, the airline and airport have to participate, even if you are a member of GE or similar programmes. You don't have to enter your KTN at time of booking, it can be added at any time before check-in. It's sometimes a pain to get the number to stick, especially on code shares (at least on AA).
