Okay, vacation experts, I don't think I saw this question addressed yet. I looked in the contract, and it appears to me that if you go negative in your vacation bank at the end of the year, instead of taking it out of your pay, your vacation bank for the next year will be reduced by that much. Is that correct? I don't recall going negative before.
So if you wanted to make this years pay higher, you could go way negative into your vacation bank, and if you don't desire to work a lot, you don't have to make it up this year, but you either make it up or deal with the deficit next year. Is that correct? Seems like a painless way for guys trying to make a high five year without working extra (obviously I'm not talking 777s here, us regular lower paid folk).
