My monthly average this year is 14 days off and about 94 hours of credit, with probably 75% of all weekend days off.
I personally do not pick up open time, but I will swap trips with opentime and will pick up flying from pilots that are trying to drop. My opinion is the airline can hire and upgrade more if they need the flying covered...but I don't hold anything against those that do for financial reasons.
