If one is spending a hundred thousand to achieve pilot certification, then one is an idiot.
There is no justification for entitlement, having spent what's necessary to achieve certification. Upon completion of flight training with the basic certification, one is technically qualified insofar as certification, but without experience, flight time, or ability beyond the bare minimum. One is less than a dime a dozen, and scarcely marketable for much of anything, and one doesn't merit much pay or attention.
One is entitled to nothing. A sense of entitlement for a new pilot is akin to a teenager thinking the world should revolve around him or her. Merely because they want it does not make it so.
