If I'm a NH, I want there to be movement, not just attrition. A savvy NH may understand that in 12 months there will be no captains left to operate the jet, and being 70% in domicile as an FO doesn't do you any good when the other seat is only half staffed and we're looking down the barrel of a recession.
