Florider, your backlash at Ralph just proves his point even further. Your response makes you sound just like one of the generation y that he was explaining that you say not to generalise about. I think he has proved his point. I think Ralphs comment were valid and polite, and provided some worthy advice and not in any way deserving of your response.
I will be less polite- take your 400hrs and go back to the bush in your "rut"(geez you must have done at least 200hrs out there), come back when you have some decent hours and lost the attitude.........................and then you may find your next job
or
go back to where you came from
