The reality is there is a ton of propaganda being released from both the union and the companies side (as in any labour action). And be very skeptical of all of it. Both sides are trying to win the public relations battle, not trying to fairly educate people on the issues.

So is there an FA that made under 35k? Sure. But she is new, part time, or both.
The company could release info about how well they are paid, but they would also try to use edge cases to advance their propaganda agenda.
I am also a big fan of facts. That being the case are you able to share the facts you are using to support your insinuation that any FAs making under 35k are “edge” cases?

I'm not weighing in because I dont know all the circumstances but some people do the job for the perks.
Can you do fact fans like myself and Ryan Coke a favour by telling us how many of the over 10k striking FAs are clients of yours?
