Hi -
It certainly would make sense, provided they had an extra plane.
I would think AS could run historical data and put an extra 737 on those peak days. For example, Friday / Sunday / Thanksgiving Wednesday / Beginning and end of Spring Break in OR/WA .
Back when AS/QX flew the Q-200 on the route, they would "upgrade" to a Q-400 (and once in a blue moon, a CRJ) when they needed the extra seats.

It's a lot easier when it's the same airline and crews too though. Harder to magically make a new flight appear on a different airline. (This is where having two different entities makes it less flexible.)

Just noticed that there are now ZERO seats available between SEA-PDX on March 29th....might be some rare VDB opportunities for those traveling that day!

FWIW, I got a "help, we need your seat" email from Alaska when I left PDX on Wednesday. Offer was $250. Not worth it.
I was trying to get a VDB on my WN flight which would have likely netted $750+ in WN cash. Couldn't break away from work quick enough to get there. Oh well.
