The reality is that crew on MF will not necessarily be "elite" or superior to crew on other fleets...but this is management trying to slightly modify the mentality and culture for BA cabin crew as MF will eventually become the largest CC fleet in the company (though this will obviousely take quite a few years). There are some fantastic crew on EF, WW & SFLGW - on a good flight the crew can beat the competition hands down. But yes there are some who don't really care for the job anymore and stay because the money/ perks are good and they would find it hard to get something similar with the same benefits. BA are using the launch of a new fleet as an opportunity to try instill a new culture amongst it's crew, that they are "elite" professionals. Whether they intend to financially reward them as "professionals" is another story, but I really don't think existing BA crew should take offence by stories of MF crew being told they are better than everyone else as it's not the reality.
