Somebody said on another thread that it was to be used by BA,EZY & MON airlines for ths summer, but how true that is its anybodys guess.
For ultimate comfort, our Titan Airways A320 will be configured with just 168 brand new all-leather seats. Limiting the aircraft capacity to a maximum of 168 passengers allows for a roomy minimum 31 inch seat pitch throughout the cabin. The seating will be versatile too with approximately 5 rows of variable geometry seats (subject to change) making it possible to offer many variations of split standard/club class cabin. These ingeniously designed seats will convert at the touch of a button from 6 abreast to 4 abreast with a drop down central table.
It wouldn't be the first time BA have leased a aircraft to act as a standby at LGW. I remember back in 2011 they leased a A320 (G-STRP) from Astraeus for much of the summer

It will be STN base, but you could work from anywhere, but if away from stn it will be in a hotel at titan expense,most of the flying is likely to be LGW based for the likes of BA or Monarch, plus Jet2 stuff add in night mail, private charter, Lourdes pilgrim flights and exclusive Turkey so very varied, good points are very generous expenses when away from base, crew food, reasonable hotels and basic money is industry standard.office staff are great and very professional.
Down sides, 30 min standby call out, paper Jepp's charts (million's of them) for every airport in Europe, manual load sheets, single days off roster very variable with lots of changes due nature of business and XXXX"S in crewing thinks she owns your life.
So good fun for a few months and once on their books you'll get first shot of anything more permeant, but unless you live near to STN or willing to move there for the contract duration i'd pass

FLB, thanks again for the details - much appreciated. I would prefer to be based somewhere at company expense!! I am not sure about moving to STN with my Mrs if offered the contract but ..... IF there are plenty of 737 captains about then Titan will not be interested in me as I am well out of recency; if not then perhaps..........

Extra A320
Boeing 737 Freighter Sold to West Atlantic Airlines
"The departure of G-ZAPV leaves room for the addition of other aircraft to the Titan fleet and we are actively seeking a second Airbus A320 following the successful introduction of our first aircraft of this type, G-POWI, earlier this year."
