For the second time in the space of about three days no they couldn’t. There are way more long haul commands to fill than there are SH commands available. You cannot funnel every long haul command through short haul. The numbers don’t work, they don’t work now and they especially won’t work with the planned expansion of the long haul network. Which I suspect is the only reason it hasn’t already happened.
