I ride a lot here in Norcal, and that's absolutely not common. You might have three guys draft you for awhile, but you don't paceline with them in rotation unless you all verbally agree on it in-ride. It's different for hammerhead rides where people are getting dropped as said, but those are NOT pacelines.
