Exactly. It's not possible to cash out 40 hrs of bank at once unless you PD most of your trips. I don't have the contract in front of me, but I believe you cash up to the ALV+15 or max 82 hours, whichever is less. And if you GS you can't cash out more than 5 hours.
You're better off buying vacation days.
