At some point, PMNW TPAC connections through PDX were generally cheaper than other routings, but after I experienced being held on the plane upon arrival for about an hour waiting for CPB people to arrive at work (and therefore missing a connection that I otherwise could have easily made), I refuse to consider PDX connections. I can't believe there's enough O-D traffic or high yielding connecting traffic to make this route viable without heavy subsidies.
