From the company point of view, it makes sense to get as many pilots on leave as possible.
From a pilot point of view, I don’t think we are helping avoid furloughs by taking leaves. If the leave works for you personally, I’m all for it, but I don’t believe that these short term leaves will have any effect when the decision comes on whether to furlough or not.
I would assume the ability to fly on leave makes a difference. I’m one of those people who isn’t smart enough to do anything else. I’m a trained button pusher :-)
