When awarded an entitlement, it just means that you would have priority over non-entitlement pilots, when determining who receives an actual vacancy award. So if you had an entitlement to Bos 737 Fo, on the next vancancy awards if their was an actual vacancy still for bos 737 fo, you would actually have priority over someone more senior than you (who does not hold that entitlement right) .
Entitlement awards come out about a week after vacancy awards.
