You forgot to mention the B$9.50 validation fee.
Also be aware that the chances of using your leave when you want it, are very slim. You will only be advised as to when you can take leave a few weeks before you have to take it. So forward planning, not one of RBA's strengths, is near impossible. Better yet, don't take any leave and use it all up at the end.
Allowances are B$6/hour. A three day Perth layover will leave you empty handed just on meals.
It is a nice place, nice people, easy routes, just does things in a very different way
Good luck.

Foresight
RBA have not had a payrise since 1994 on salary, and the hourly allowance of $6sin has not moved either and thus no cpi increase or cost of living allowance for over 16 years.
There is no structured tiered pay tables as there used to be for advancement in years of service for first officers or captains and there seems to be no review of such in the future.
The system of salaries and incentive to remain with the airline in future years need to be realigned with other carriers, if the airline wants to compete in the market and offer flight crew an incentive to stay, instead of running up massive training costs to continue to try and employ crew in a restrictive market.

I think RBA could be one of the best airlines in the world. Brunei have the money, so they can invest in the airline to be a top notch. Provide a competitive package for pilots and all the staff in general and bring again the glamour of the flying palaces to the skies.
Happy landings.
