It appears that at some point in the last six months, Aeroplan started inserting the Aeroplan account number into the reservation for the primary ticketholder, and once the ticket is booked, United or any other airline cannot modify the ticket and insert the actual operating airline FF# into the res, even if they are operating their own aircraft on their flight. Now that UA genrously helped out on my pressing issue, I will follow up with this week Aeroplan to sort this out for future bookings.
