It wasn't all of them by any means, but a good number of them felt like their unprecedented career progression was due to their own merits for some reason, and there was a severe sense of entitlement for them being "owed" a legacy class date instead of trying to become a better crew member at NK.
I flew with several like this and it sucked. Yeah I could have involved pro standards but with the rate of attrition it was just better to let it go because they were soon to be someone else's problem at xyx legacy.
I've been a NK captain for two years, flown with lots of junior, low time pilots, and I haven't had anyone who was arrogant or anything like that. All good people, they realize they're inexperienced, and I enjoy mentoring and helping them along.
