Long Haul pilots fly Short Haul too..
All I read in the papers and see on the news is that the QANTAS "LONG HAUL" pilots are going on strike. To the average punter this is not a big deal because not many average punters fly "long haul" regularly.
Why is it not being emphasized that Qantas Long Haul pilots don't just fly overseas, but are in fact the backbone of Qantas's City Flyer network?
