Down here in NZ there is a flight operated by Eagle Air, although not a big airliner flying the route (Beech 1900D), the route is Wellington to Blenheim, a nice 44nm trip, does beat taking the ferry between the North and South Islands, but from what I understand it sure is a hectic workload
Short sectors are a pleasure if you're not burdened with excessive verbal SOP's, standard calls, briefings etc to the pilot next to you. 6 sectors of it and saying the same sh1t over and over is what I find tiring. You know whats going to be said/done and neither of you have the eye on the ball, or enjoying whats out the window
