Hmm. The sense of entitlement thing can go both ways, I guess.

On one hand, if you have a 250 hr wonder fresh out of the puppy mill who thinks they're entitled to a job at the majors within 5 years and is willing to do anything to make that happen, including flying 70 seat jets for an alter-ego carrier somewhere, that's definitely not a good thing for the profession.

On the other hand, if someone fresh out of college/flight school is thinking "Geez, I paid 100k for rather specialized technical training and will now be operating a $40m piece of equipment with significant revenue generation capability while retaining a large amount of personal liability, I deserve more than they're paying!" - well, that sort of a "sense of entitlement" we need more of, it'd be good for all pilots.
