Gents,
Suspect Blogger is on a fishing trip here - rest assured that the vast majority of us fully understand the fg pay issue. There is no real lack of respect etc for aircrew (at least in the GR4 world) generically - apart from the odd arse that would be disliked no matter what he did for a living! But, some of us did work hard at school and made the choice to work on ac rather than fly them - and would not swap even if given the option.
