I hadn't really heard of people doing this until I came to the WB. Now, I regularly hear other pilots talking about picking up to 100+ hours every month. I've even had a few guys tell me that they "don't really need vacation, because they get to much time off," so they use vacation months to get up over 110+ hours, with pickups and carryout trips... Even got an odd stare when I said I use those months to have lots of time off. Lol.

I'm all for people using the contract to their advantage, but I think a cap would be good for the whole group.
