Interesting point.
I always assumed the vast majority of government employees (both domestic and foreign) travelling between YOW and Europe/Africa/ME/certain parts of Asia would book the FRA/LHR-YOW flights operated by AC since:
(1) those are the only non-stop options between YOW and Europe
(2) any alternative routing via the US is far from convenient, especially since most flights are operated by regional jets
