No, that's accurate. It's Wellington I'm trying to line up, and it would be Air NZ out of YVR, or AC to SYD and an Air NZ hop from there to WLG.
The NZ flight is at 2pm, the AC/NC connection leaves at 8pm. When it's 3pm and you get a go order, it's nice to know what your options are. AC gets me in at midnight to WLG, with NZ it wouldn't be until 8am the next morning. And unfortunately, in my line of work, when I get a go order, 8 hours can make a big difference.
And thanks for the "Preview Seats" link - I can't believe I hadn't seen that until now. (facepalm)
