hi i am one of those ex debonair that ended up in flightline and am stn based.
we do a lot of different things and the money is good but only because we are away a lot and get paid for the hours we are away from home but the man based crew only get paid for the hours they work because they go home at night so there money is not so good.
dont know if the basic is going to be better for the crew they are now hiring in man so you would really have to ask them but pay in stn is good.
good luck
