Once it officially tickets, I'll try this one final trick to see if availability suddenly appears. I'm not holding my breath!

(Business availability is also not showing up via the Alaska Airlines award search, for what it's worth.)
There might be something wrong with your booking if it has been ON REQUEST for 72+ hours. This happened to me last week. Initially I held my itinerary online and called to add an AA domestic segment. She did that and took my payment information. After 3 days it hadn't been ticketed so I called back. It turned out the agent did not restore the fare so the system could not auto ticket it.
