The Portland flight never should have been on the blog, and I never should have been able to sweet talk my way onto it. The blog post's been updated and no longer mentions the PDX flight.
2. The PAE-LAS flight isn't bookable online because Alaska knows that people booked the Feb 11th version because it's the first flight. They are trying to re-accommodate everyone on the new inaugural flight. I just broke things for me when I called in (rather than waiting to be called) and cancelling/attempting to re-book.
3. I am now back on the PAE-LAS flight and all is right with the world.

I set an ExpertFlyer notification on it, and eventually a few seats opened up, so I switched from PAE-LAS to PAE-PDX. The flight is meant to be for employees and journalists, which is why they aren't selling tickets on the new date, but I can't get anybody in the call center to put me on PAE-PDX on 4MAR, nor can I get anybody to put me on PAE-LAS because on 4MAR because it's a destination change.
