I've got to agree with Ferd. This board is a depressing place.
On the bright side, APC isn't wasting too much of my time lately...

What prevents someone from banking time in December and cashing it out in January, after our 8.5% pay bump kicks in? For example, if I were to bank 30 hours and cash it out the following month, I'd have made an extra $300 just by deferring my pay for a month; or do I misunderstand the way this works? If it was that easy, wouldn't everyone do it or am I the last one to NOT do it?

I think the most you can put into your positive bank is 5 hours per month...unless that's been changed in one of the last T/A's, which it may have, but back in the day, all you could deposit was 5.
Ever since we've been using PBS, I've been in negative bank land, so I'm not too sure what the max pos. deposit is anymore.

No, the opposite actually. If you have vacation during a reserve month, you use the charts in the bid packet to find out how many X days you get in addition to your vacation. So for December with no vacation you would have 31 reserve days available. So you would get 14 days off (Reserve guarantee less then 75 hours)But with vacation, you only have 24. 31-7 days of vacation equals 24 days of availability. So depending on your fleet and the reserve guarantee you're looking at 10 or 11 days off.
In previous contracts, your 2 days of CQ would further reduce your days of availability (down to 22) and that would reduce your total days off. So under or new contract that doesn't happen.
