Illusion.
I can't see anywhere where cabin service is mentioned so I hope your refence to it is just a "throw away" line.
However if your reference is to my comments on necessary contract provisions for long haul flying and you doubt the need for those provisions for longhaul flying, then I can only assume you have no experience of ultra long haul operations or that you are management.
One thing that I didn't mention in my earlier post is conditions for duty travel.Any long haul single aircraft ops will have a large amount of that. You don't want to be in a position of doing a 14 hour duty and then pax for the next 24 hours back to main base, economy class with no paxing credits. In fact even with paxing credits you dont want to be in that position.
To survive long haul multi sector flying there always needs to be a much more rigorous contract process than short haul overnight trips. To think anything else is a trifle naive
