I would hope those same Captains aren't the ones pointing the finger at the "entitlement" of others who might not see a Command before retirement.
So true, in Aus the very ones that started as cadets are complaining about these upstart youngsters who have got their 20 year badges but still are not senior enough to get an East coast command! The attitude that "the company really needs me" is weird.
