Same here after five years of earned PE/RW. Absolutely nothing. One or two involuntary downgrades, in fact, but no operational upgrades.
When this subject has been discussed before it has been suggested that those departing ex UK airports handled by Servisair (ie all except LHR) are at a disadvantage with op-ups ex AMS. Servisair staff are not authorised to op up pax and by the time you arrive in AMS on your feeder flight, Schiphol check-in have selected some PEs ahead of you. Unsure if this is remotely true but certainly might explain the high numbers of UK FD members who have been passed over for the elusive KLM operational upgrade.
