which will allow the 787s to be operated both Internationally and Domestically under the short haul award by the surplus Mainline pilots.
Stalin, it appears that you think the SH award is superior to the LH award. There is one glaring problem with it - under the CAO48 Exemption that it operates under, the maximium TOD is 13 hours (irrespective of how many additional pilots are included in the crew). This would be very restrictive on an aircraft that is designed to have an 8000NM range (8500NM for the B787-9).
