Yes i agree but if the longhaul pilot does a 4 hour duty SYD-CBR return do they get stick hours or 5.30 credit? There in itself is the problem. They should get 1.50 credit as every other airline does. No point going on about a 10.30 duty for 5.30 credit, that is an extreme example , if you factor in the higher hourly rate you actually make more in shorthaul compared to the 767. The company needs some flexibility 5.30 minimum pay is not one of them.
AoA,
As others have already mentioned, 9-10 hour duties on the 767 are the rule, not the exception. I fly a lot more days in excess of 5:30 duty than days less than that (almost none). You should really get the facts before going into print. As for your comment about pilots deserving 1:50 for SYD-CBR return because every other airline does, all I can say is
