I doubt you even know what entitled means. I know it's a buzz word for this decade but it's being used in the wrong manner. Kinda like the f word. It's good but then it's being construed as bad. When someone works hard for something, more often than not they are entitled to reimbursement. Not a bad thing. But you are implying that because we work at a regional we are not entitled to further our career. Even after we have twice or three times the experience you had. I believe the person that has the negative entitlement is you. Your entitled to fly a mainline jet but regional pilots are not, because your less experience was better.
20 years ago Mainline was giving up scope for pay. Today we have 50-90 seat jets flying east coast to west coast. Regional flying?
And all you care about is your beloved seniority number. This industry keeps selling out the next generation of pilots yet blame them for protecting their own interests.
We have an opportunity to merge the wholly owned carriers. I don't want eagles 700's, they don't want me to have them. Send the airplanes over but send the pilots with them. Am I coming off as entitled? If that means 1 seniority list with 6 airlines then so be it. If you care about your friends at eagle you will give it some thought.
