Depends where you’re coming from and what your aspirations are, unless you’re about to lose your job. If you’re escaping from the desert, it depends how quickly you want to escape.
If you’re coming from one of the bottom-feeders, same answer.
If you’re coming from Ryanair or Easy (or equivalent) LHS, I wouldn’t bother coming at all unless you really want Longhaul.
If you’re coming from Ryanair or Easy (or equivalent) RHS, only come for longhaul or stay where you are and go LHS.
If you’re coming from VS or longhaul charter RHS, see whether your time to a longhaul command is any better (and you’d better like shorthaul in the meantime).
If you’re coming from VS or longhaul charter LHS, you’re barking.
