Very easily, MrJones.
What's that you say? basic of 60k? 70k? 80k?
<cue much comparison to soldiers, nurses etc>
ASAP of 5k? Oh, but it's not really a shift payment is it, as the non-op staff get NOS of the same value....
And a quarterly payment for training?
And an hourly payment for training?
Oh, and you work 6 on 4 off?
And get 33 days leave?
You get 8 PHs a year, whether you work them or not?

Subsidised canteen/Luncheon vouchers?
