Midnight Cruiser,
The pay at Titan Airways starts at £90,700 for a Captain and £57,300 for an experienced FO - plus flying duty pay of approximately £7,000 and £4,000 respectively. There is an annual pay review in April, so expect these figures to increase slightly. The company is profitable and has paid bonuses in most of it’s 30 years.
Titan will type rate and bond the correct types of candidates as well - no up front payment required for type ratings.
The pension isn’t 1%, it is 3%, which isn’t good compared to others - but you were being factually incorrect, so I highlight this to prove the point.
You will fly approximately 500 hours per year - not 800~900 hours per year.
Part time work is an option immediately. You are treated as a grown up and people know your name, not your staff number.
Titan need pilots because they have increased the Airbus fleet in the last 9 months. There has been virtually no attrition in 12 months, but there have been promotions, new trainers, DEC, DEFO, a cadet scheme (type rating paid for by company) and a second wave of cadet recruitment (again, type rating paid for by the company)....amongst lots of other stuff going on.
Sure, there are some higher paid gigs, but not many for the amount of flying you’d do at Titan.
