Flight Pass and United Flights
I live in Winnipeg and travel to Las Vegas 4 to 6 times per year. I have been using Air Canada flight pass for the flights. Air Canada has continued to diminish their flights to/from Vegas over the past year. Starting in April the options for return flights are getting worse. What is a 3 hour direct flight on Westjet is becoming 11 hours with Air Canada.
I am a SE100K with Air Canada.
My question, can I get Air Canada Flight Pass to be used on a United Flight through Denver, which would become a more reasonable 5 hour return flight?

From the T&C from a random flight pass (I'd expect the wording to be identical for all AC flight passes)
Flight credits can be used only on Air Canada, Air Canada rouge and participating Air Canada Express carriers. Codeshare flights are not permitted.

That'd be a game changer if the flight passes allowed codeshare flights! Alas, as others have noted, I've never seen a flight pass that allowed flights on anything but Air Canada metal.

and for unlimited Latitude FPs will those airlines be fine with allowing the T-48 hour comp upgrade, or even regular AC upgrade instruments? So many things to consider.

Not that it will ever happen, but if AC were to allow FP's to be used on codeshare flights, I think they'd limit it to the credit-based (i.e. not unlimited) passes. I also think they'd simply qualify that complimentary upgrades are not valid on codeshare flights for latitude passes (no different than how you can't eUpgrade on regular codeshare flights).
