I think AC's agents are pinching pennies... Or overzealously applying a fare rule to irops that said the over-water segment must be operated by AC.

The irony in your friends case is there is significant chance of irops/misconnect and EC261 compensation with a triple connect.

Agree that I've heard other airlines (and Aeroplan) switch this, at least within their own alliance with very little trouble. When they want to.
