Agreed. She will almost certainly lose this battle at the gate. The GA's at YVR will only accept a passport. Whether that is AS' requirement, someone else's rule or no one's, if the agents at your airport feel the same, you most likely aren't going to win this in time to catch the flight. If she must travel, get the rush passport.
