7000 ft is relatively common for small planes like cessnas, they don’t even keep pressurized cabins, but It’s fine if you stay low. So there’s nothing wrong with that altitude, but it’s awfully low for a jet. The jet will be flying at low fuel efficiency the whole way and it certainly won’t have much wiggle room if something really goes wrong. (You can lose 7000 ft of altitude very quickly)
