On top of that I assume that our 320 category pilots would enjoy a RDU-CDG flight every once in awhile.
All this TA needs to be a win is some sort of balanced long haul NB hours clause. To me it’s a no until it is included.
You need to read the agreement again. The Company can throw a narrow body on RDU-CDG, but it won't count towards the hours that they have to put on a wide body. Plus there is additional protections in Section 3 should they decide to send narrowbodies over the ocean on a regular basis.
