Also worth pointing out that she is allowed to fly J only on flights of 2+ hours. YOW-YHZ is shorter than that. What good would a Y flight pass be for the 2+ hr J segments to YEG? She isn't allowed to buy a J pass for those flights.
If you're asking my personal opinion, they should all be forced to buy Latitude flight passes that meet 80% of their needs, which offer self upgrading to J within 48 hours for no cost. (ie: flight pass that covered halifax to ottawa)
The Government as a whole should then buy business flight pass (latitude fare) for the large region where credits can be given out to fliers when they need to go outside their typical pattern (ie: ottawa to Edmonton). Again updating to J within 48 hours for no cost.
