I like to try to fly on the competition when I go long-haul." Maybe you can chalk it up to an oversight in editing for the article, but to me it sounds like he avoided disclosing whether or not he flies Y on long haul flights (my guess is no...).
He has never said he fly's coach long-haul. He always says domestic. Nothing new here.
