Not exactly correct. The only thing that prevents a vacation slide is a coverage award. If you don’t get a coverage award for the dates you are trying to slide into then your slide will be honored. Often there will be coverage awards for holidays but not always. This Nov there were no coverage awards for line holders in my category.
