when the company plays this game they lose time on the back end.  If you crew change at the receiving, the time to travel home does not count as duty, however, it does not count as rest.  There is no question that depending on the return travel they will have considerable OOS the next day unless it's your last day. 

That's the cost of business, some companies figure that it's a bird in the hand...you capture a flight and give up a potential flight during your OOS the next day/night.  Probably not a bad bet.
