That's a perfect example of the millenial entitlement brat mindset that seems to be more prevalent in the younger, newer ranks of our seniority list. People in their 30s/40s who grew up without Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter don't take every single thing that happens in their life/job as a personal insult. Something changed in the younger millenials--people around 18-25 years old or so. There's this hyper-narcissistic mindset, and if you don't constantly validate them, they cry and quit and run to mommy.
If a street Captain bypasses you because you don't have your time, you don't quit like a little girl because you think it's unfair--you bust your ass trying to get your 1,000 hours because you now have the seniority to upgrade.
Typical entitlement brat mentality: instead of working to overcome the issue precluding you from getting what you want, you take it personally and quit because it wasn't handed to you when you wanted it.
Depends on the situation. Say all aircraft arrive. No new growth. Mesa then hires enough street Captains that upgrades slow to a practical stop. You're a new hire that upgrade went from 18 months to 5 years now.
Mesa isn't a place to hang around at FO
