From my perspective the long haul community enjoys a higher level of immunity to scheduling gamesmanship. It's hard to reassign a pilot who is laying over in BOM or LOS. Sure, you'll get your share of short-calls,but no fake trips and no field standby and your pairings won't turn into a letter K or R due to modifications. Crew rest issues internationally sort of take care of themselves due to FAR 117 and the augmentation factor. Long haul reserve pilots enjoy a higher QoL.
