Maybe some folks haven't noticed this yet, but the regional FA's aren't always the sharpest tools in the shed. While I've had some great ones, there's also been a fair number of duds. Before everyone goes off and assumes this was due to evil intent or malice, why don't you take a deep breath and consider maybe she simply misheard and misread something and interpreted a rule incorrectly. I know there are issues with serving PDB's while on the ground in certain provinces in Canada and Ontario is one of those (I believe it is related to duties payments/taxes required while on the ground). So possibly she was confused by this particular rule and thought it somehow applied when both on the ground and over the territory.
