Don't pretend that long haul is some kind of a black art. If cadets can cope with high intensity short haul, I'm sure they will manage long haul.
It's not a 'black art' but the huge difference is there are times when you may only get to operate one sector every 6 weeks due to leave, training, heavy crews etc so you need experience. The one sector maybe a Canarsie into JFK on a dirty night, not enjoyable for those that have been there on numerous occasions let alone a new boy on a slippery 330 with low hours and experience.
