In the eyes of the disgruntled EK FO's everything EK does is wrong. Personally I'm getting a bit bored with these pilots who think they are entitled to an upgrade, if you look back at some of those who complained the most you will find that most failed and failed badly. MM said all those that meet the Min's will have a chance at upgrade, if you blow it down blame training blame yourself. You say you are ready than it should be no problem
