I think our debate might be for another place, and I'm not about to turn this into a LH vs. Shorthaul argument....but briefly once you start batting around at the sort of Mach numbers the 380 and 787 do on longer sectors flight times come down, even slightly, and a flight time credit trip will have it's value reduced, (with the backstop of TAFB /4) , but nevertheless reduced - marginal perhaps on a daily basis but over year it will make a difference, especially if you're junior and have a significant number of such trips ( it was interesting to me to hear someone describe their situation as doing Longhaul on a shorthaul roster, you would never have describe it as such a few years back)

Short Longhaul would be something like a TLV nightstop ( which seems to switch between LH or ) or Cairo.
