Truthfully, these folks could be in any COS, along with the pre-boarders who really don't need a little extra time going down the jetway, the Tommy Bahamas who crash the GA line with just one little question, to the buffalo butts that snort and point to the window seat rather than asking politely if he could slide into seat A.

I think there are a few types of entitlement: the Gold sort that have paid full freight and don't mind just helping themselves; the Silver sort that "earned it all," and are entitled to "take it all;" and the General sort that have paid discount and are entitled to every penny of value they can extract
