Yes, of course if you're there 10+ years you make a lot more than that. But from what I've been reading the actual average is less than $30/hr. You can make more than that fueling plane.
I'm well aware that only getting paid from brakes off to brakes on is normal in the industry, I'm a pilot (barely)
That doesn't mean it SHOULD be. But if there's no institutional momentum to change that then the wage should have that in mind. $28.50, not gonna cut it

As passengers we can just start tipping the FAs like so many other service jobs. Pass around a tip basket during landing or put a tip jar at the airplane door. They can probably make a lot more money from tips than wages.
YYC to YYZ on a Max8 at $1 per passenger tip would be around $12/flight hour extra.
