I do not know. I think it will depend on how miserable some of the FQS's get this peak. Time will tell.
I believe Rocco hit the nail on the head. If the cards are signed. Its easy. If not and the IPA is forced to go the other direction. It will take 2-3 years. But the days of the airline within the airline I believe are over, once UPS decided to furlough.

Miserable? Are you kidding? We're living a dream! Working for the greatest company in the world, flying to exotic places and getting PAID! The more I fly the less I have to deal with cry babys. Beleive me the FQS are not a miserable as you would like. BTW any tips on the best place to buy a set of Golf clubs in ASIA?

They're NOT FQS anymore...Lick Balls now calls them FQM.
Sadly for them, if they don't sign enough cards (and soon), they'll eventually be SOL. But there are a GREAT many genuine scabs amongst them...at least one with THREE under his belt.
Bank on it.

Absolutely. Go to the 580 market in Shanghai or to Luohu Commercial City in Shenzhen, and you can buy a full set of "Calloways" for $150. Top notch quality.
Oh, and the great thing is that you don't even have to declare them with Customs back in ANC. You should probably buy two sets. Great deal.
While you're at it, you should probably pick up some "North Face" gortex gear, and a Louis Vuitton flight kit for the upcoming peak season. You'll be the talk of the ANC base. Happy shopping!
