Chuck,
As usual here is some persepective to the previous one sided post.
If you have previous command time and 6000 hrs you may get a command inside 3 years. Yes there is one guy who has been here just over a year doing his upgrade. There are also guys with the same qualifications on the other fleet who have been here 3 years, who also have accelerated command time and have been bypassed by the previously mentioned lucky individual along with many others and they are none too happy about it. But that is life at EK. There is little right of appeal.
You can choose your work within limitations. When you are near the top of the bid, yes, you get most of what you want. When you are at the bottom, you are on standby and often end up doing the worst flights that others call in sick for.
