I called their cs and the agent took 15 minutes to find it but wasn't sure if it was what I was asking. Gave me a very long number starting with a letter. I had to call to cancel. I don't have much confidence in this airline after this.
Porter is ticketless - you will only get a ticket number if you have a connecting flight with a different airline (e.g. PD YYZ-SFO then AS SFO-PDX).
If the itinerary you booked is solely PD-operated, you will only get the PD confirmation number (PNR) which is 6 digits, alphanumeric.
When you manage your booking or check in you can add your AS MP # and you will earn AS miles per your booking class.
There's an existing thread on earning on PD flights in the Alaska Airlines forum.
