They do have what is known as "rolling rest". If you fly a 6 hour day and go to the hotel you are still technically on duty for another 8 hours (14). However if they have not called you at the end of the 14, you are still considered to have been in rest for those 8 hours in the hotel, hence they could call you out 2 hours later as you have had your 10 hours of rest. The only way around that would be to leave you at the airport for the 8 hours and then put you into a defined rest period....pick your poison. In my experience that very rarely happened most of the trips were scheduled for the next day, but there is always the possible recovery flight or pop up.
