Don't forget that with the 7ER flying comes 7ER reserve for the junior people, which can be a the bottom 20% or so when things are slow in the winter... International short-call is 24 hours long. Last month I got to enjoy a 0400 to 0400 reserve... It's always fun to sit in the crashpad 36 hours or so to cover 1 short call.
