But are you killing yourself picking up every little thing in open time you can? I think of it as a marathon, not a sprint. Sure, get your time and move on as soon as you can, but in the meantime live life at least a little to avoid burnout.
Or maybe Dulles lines really are that awesome.

Dulles lines used to be that awesome, not so much anymore. If someone is young and single, why not pick up extra flying? If they have a family and are commuting, then they probably need to reevaluate their life if they are picking up extra. Sounds like torture to rush to get their hours and then sit a long reserve as a captain.

It's the reward you get for having to live on the east coast 
I agree with you though, it's definitely a marathon and it's not worth burning yourself out on our pathetic FO pay. I'm waiting until I upgrade before I start really churning it out, because TPIC and most importantly $$$.

I think has been answered in this thread like 500 pages ago and I know it's in our contract somewhere, but do anyone know off the top of their head what our exact commuter clause is?

Basically have two flights to get into the airport from airlines the company has access to their reservations. Said two flights must have an arrival time 180 minutes and 90 before show time. Call crew tracking as soon as possible. List not more or less than 48 to 24 hours in advance. You can only use it once in a rolling 12 months.
