Obviously a company wants it’s pilots working efficiently, only doing two mining runs a week would not provide that. From what I gather NAA hours have increased over the years, more weekend and long day work since getting into RPT.
With shortages and lack of crew atm NAA pilots would be flying a lot more than 2 mining runs per week for the same money (minus a day off payment). And crewing numbers are biting especially in training.

Resignation rate from mainline for lifestyle reasons is incredibly low, if anything it would be for quicker commands. Mainline has never been a tool to get quick command hours then leave for high pay overseas. It was a long term prospect for those who don’t mind a longer wait but a more stable job based in Australia.
Yeah, you could get command hours quicker at NAA (although I’d say 7-8 years still) and head off to make money overseas, especially seeing Asia still isn’t due to reach peak pre covid capacity for another few years.
