Yes, that's what I meant...
Today, Random_SE_Roadwarrior finds out that there is a conference in Paris that he must attend during the first week of June. Since his hotel and J class ticket are paid for by his company, he figures that it would be a great idea to have his partner with him that week. Only catch is that if he tried to call Aeroplan for a J class reward ticket (using the 100% bonus miles he earned for his 100K+ miles of travel), there would be no chance of finding availability given the 2 J tickets per flight quota.
Hence, the value of this benefit to SE flyers...
