Reflections then on the "night time" slot problem & does it remove any original SEN advantage?
You could be right in that unrestricted use of the night slots by ASL was what was anticipated at the start of the contract and the retiming of the programme may or may not have upset Amazon, I really don't know.
Regarding Titan I'm certainly not aware of this shuttling to and fro between SEN and STN during the Summer, but if it did happen it would normally be at Titan's cost as the subcontractor to ASL,
if it was Titan's choice to do so. Maybe though it was due to unserviceability of the ASL 737s which I know was a problem in the Summer and perhaps they needed some additional
ad hoc capacity. In which case whether it's SEN or another of their bases involved it has no relevance to ASL's cost basis for using that airport.
