APC has it on the airline profile page
merit is in the eye of the beholder. a friend of mine went in to recommend someone and the chief pilot pulled up his sick calls. (that's the first thing he does whenever someone goes to talk to him) he had 6 in 8 years (less than 1 a year) and was told that he wasn't a dependable employee so he wasn't going to take the recommendation. I guess he wouldn't upgrade if it was merit based.
