I do not think the post is ignorant. Market forces dictate salaries, whether you like it or not. And in this case, especially unfortunately for MF crew, it means that they are poorly paid particularly for the hours, work/life impact and cost of living in home base location.
Furthermore, despite the protestation of legacy crews saying they are underpaid, I don't see them running for the exit to find a similar role at another airline with the same T&Cs - in fact it is the golden handcuffs that are keeping them at BA.
