I can only speak for myself so take it for what it's worth. The 7ER appeals to me because I've already done domestic coast-to-coast and want to see if international is something I want to do long term. If I get displaced in six month, oh well. I also live in base and would choose to sit reserve on another fleet anyway so that isn't a big consideration.
