Generally speaking, a leave like that is bid for a specific amount of time. 3 months for example. After 3 months is up, you go back to work. If your landings aren't current, they may send you to sim for a day or so.

If you're contractually protected, they can not abrogate senority by furloughing out of senority like that. If involuntary absences are required, that must be done in accordance with the CBA. Which means junior people go first.
