The second time it was just the Captain who hadn't been, so the AQFO sat up front on the way down and DHed back with us the next day.
I can't see why the AQFO would let you go home with pay when he can be the one getting the good deal.
My personal experience had been that the AQFO has let me go both times. Both were overnights, but the AQFO could have DH right back out. It was a great deal for me, as he turned my uncommutable 5 day in to a commutable 4 day where I got home 36 hours earlier. And I was still paid for my 5 day & got a PS seat home.
