If you can afford it and wanted to just go spend the summer in your mountain cabin, maybe the unpaid leave would be the way to do that. Or if you have another business that needs attention. There's reasons.

The actually flying may be done by people too junior to get a line that pays them to not fly much or at all.
That won’t last long past September...

Not sure how your bids work though. For someone like Jb if a bus captain is “downgraded” they could potentially still end up in a training event for left seat Embraer.
Furlough line is April 2018
downgrade 1250-1300
At that line the Left seat 320 to 737 will be virtually nonexistent.

1. Displacing to 1250 system seniority would be 367 downgrades: 147 AB/220 737.
2. Displacing to 1300 system seniority would be 334 downgrades: 122 AB/212 737.
YMMV.
