And remember that this is 6 months on "UNPAID STATUS". The first several months, while you're burning through your sick/vacation, you are still on "PAID STATUS".
While on paid status, you are still able to bid for your monthly 'sick schedule' and bid on AEs. Once you go on unpaid status, your ability to bid disappears and that is when the 'bid whatever your seniority would hold' comes into play.
