Well, it's great we'll get to enjoy FPC one more year!^
I wonder whether Accor/Fairmont will do anything to address the concerns of the loyal Fairmont customer base. (At least based on my conversations with Fairmont management, they're aware that Fairmont customers are very skeptical of the acquisition by Accor.)
As far as I'm concerned, I'd be perfectly ok with the two programs staying separate for as long as possible.
