No wonder the Virgin Air Crew Flight Attendant are going on strike if these are their pay rates.

A Wollies Shopping Trolly boy gets close to those figures at an average of 25 dollars per hour.....This seems to be a fair wage for this type of work, however a flight attendant requires way more skills and has far greater responsibility than a trolly boy.
What A Flight Attendant Is Required To Do.
A flight attendant is sometimes also known as an air steward, air stewardess or air cabin crew. It is a customer-facing role that involves looking after airline passengers’ health, safety and well-being while on board the flight.
Flight attendants will predominately work on an aircraft during their shifts, but they may also work in offices and airports, and overnight stays in hotels are common. They will carry out many tasks, including pre- and post-flight checks, greeting passengers, checking documents, securing luggage, serving food and drinks, selling duty-free items, carrying out safety demonstrations, etc. The role may also require ad hoc administrative work, such as writing flight reports and recording items sold.
A flight attendant’s main aim is to provide high-quality customer care and ensure that passengers are comfortable and have a pleasant and safe flight. They also have an important role in dealing with any problems, passenger requests and emergencies. Overall, it is about ensuring that every passenger on the flight has a positive experience and gets to their destination safely.
Flight attendants will work with many people, including colleagues, e.g. pilots, in-flight managers, in-flight leads, other members of the air cabin crew and support staff. They will also liaise with passengers, airport staff, ground crew, hotel staff and possibly emergency services.
Flight attendants mainly work for commercial airlines but may also work for private airlines and the Royal Air Force (RAF). They can work on short-, medium- or long-haul flights in all cabins on various aircraft.
