Assuming it is, it's a personal decision of which the individual may have many answers, such as:
Not flying ACMI
Having a schedule that never changes
Never being ridiculously jetlagged
Being home every week
More money
Domiciled where they live and no imputed income
Quicker upgrade
Just a few ideas.... "Flying a 747 all over the world" isn't for everyone.

Then, I have a buddy who recently got the invite, RJ FO with no internal recs or TPIC, nada, just sudden email. But, he never responded either, as he already has a class date at JB. It's a little disheartening.
Still though, good news is good news. Maybe someday.
