My point exactly.

Both of those variants share the same characteristics, being in effect the runt of their respective families, both out of production with only a few dozen having been built and, in the case of the A318, with examples less than 10 years old having been scrapped already.

You can't give then away, so lessors are between a rock and a hard place. Titan are likely getting such a good deal that they will be able to afford to keep their example(s) parked for extended periods.
