With that award wage, Western Australian isn't included in that award (not legally upheld in WA). Rather, they have their seperate system, in which, they don't have an actual "pilot award wage". Which means, under their system you are actually just a non-award worker.

And I believe the number is like 13odd dollar as a casual person. (That is just my poor memory has an impression of, if it is wrong. Please someone correct me).

Give ATO a call, to find out the exact number and entitlement. But, I was in a similar situation before, and that above, is what I got told...
Hmmmm told by your employer?

I haven't lived in Australia for six years now, but as I recall the Pilots award was a federal award arbitrated by the Industrial Relations Commission - and as such applied to the entire country. Unless the new workchoices legislation has changed that (or WA has finally seceded from the Federation!) it should still apply.

correct rate:

( $33,148 / 800 ) times 1.25 = $51.79 per hour.
