From the 2010 Award:
"standard rate means the minimum salary for a Captain single engine UTBNI 1360 kg in Schedule B divided by 52"
i.e. a week's wages for the lowest paid pilot on this award.
So an allowance of 834% of standard rate just means two month's extra salary per year at the rate of the lowest paid pilot. Not a whole lot of return for the effort and cost of getting to Grade 1 + META. Sounds like quantum physics to me !
