I think a lot of people took them because 50 hours is not too shabby for knowing you have the whole month off. You don't have to bid, watch your schedule, just sit at home or do whatever you want.
Some did take it to help the company. The company is losing millions of dollars right now, some of us want the company to survive long term, and taking a small paycut times 1000 pilots adds up. If everyone wasn't so greedy and chipped in temporarily it might help. Covid is not the company's fault. They are scrambling like the rest of the world. Covid is the media's fault. The sheeple are being driven by fear and propaganda. This will not end till the election is over and watch the virus problems magically disappear.

“Wow, this whole covid thing is serious... I mean it could really put a damper on crediting over 150 hours this month.”
”I know, I have two alimony payments, child support, a novia in Bogota and I was going to buy another boat this summer. How are we going to make sure the inner circle makes their nut next month?”
”Well first we get about thousand pilots to give up a third of their guarantee...just scare them into thinking the place will shut down if they don’t”
”You think they’ll fall for that?”
”Pfff of course they will, besides you ever see that Wolf of Wallstreet movie? We know how to spend it better, those poor schmucks will just waste it on food and rent”
”Yeah but like any good pyramid scheme, we will need even more idiots to forego their contractual salary in the months to come, we better put out a bunch of emails to make it look official and above board”
And scene.
I hope not a single person bids VIL for June...

I have my own business as well and I realize very acutely what the actions taken by the Government will lead to in 6-12 months time. The amount of damage that has been inflicted onto this nation is sickening.
That said, I'm in the bullish camp. I believe the good citizens see this whole disaster for what it truly is and believe air travel could be back quicker than the other experts on this board.

I would say it was a combination of pilots not wanting to work, and individuals wanting to mitigate their exposure to the Corona virus.
Beyond that the company has been too tight lipped for anyone to make an intelligent decision with regard to helping them with incentive lines.
