The sense of entitlement is endemic to many people, not just young pilots. Schools these days give an "A" to almost all the students regardless of ability or intelligence. How can a school have all A grade students? This happens in law school, too, where I was told once that I had to say how good this dumbster is so as not to destroy his self-esteem. People just don't understand the value of hard work and earning something on your own.
