You're right about the entitlement issues, but it's your entitlement 'issues' to being ratioed in to fly 744/777 captain. Why? Because you're entitled.

Of course you tried to force a merger. You were hoping for that ratio dream. Didn't happen then, won't happen now...for the same reason. But at least your being honest about it. Too many come on here and say: "please put us on the list...we'll even accept being stapled."
