I feel as entitled to the flow as you feel entitled to your paycheck on payday. Do you expect to get your check on payday? Do you expect the amount to be correct? Yes. Its your contractual "right" to be paid for the time you put in. You held up your half of the deal and now you would expect the company to uphold their half. But just because you expect your contract to be abided by, you don't run around holding your check in the faces of Rampers, Gate Agents and FAs yelling "check it out biiittcccchhhaaaasss, I just got paid and I'll rrrrriiiiiiicccchhhhh!"

Being entitled to something that you have earned* and feeling entitled for something for just showing up are to different things. If you really do work for Mesa though, I could see how you get the two confused.



*by the time I flow, I will have acquired over 11,000 hrs TT, 5,000 hrs PIC and 12 accident free years with Eagle/envoy. This is different than expecting a mainline to hire me because I got a quick 1,000 PIC and have a total of 3 years experience at a regional airline.
