I'm sure most people are familiar with the NES. The problem with $18.06 an hour is it's not enough for a pilot to live on in these remote places when they are only promised 25 hours a week. Maybe in major capital cities but not in a remote area The cost of living where KA's bases are is huge. Is it too much to ask for the pilots to be paid full time under the award? Every time that question has been raised in the past management has thrown their hands in the air as if to say "we can't afford the award"
