I haven't seen them adjust the current day RAP to get you legal, and that is definitely shady if that is a common practice now. I wouldn't hesitate to call them on it every single time. Just say no and they will stop being enabled to pull shenanigans like that in the future.
I've definitely seen them adjust raps on the back end of a trip to be the following days reserve block legal, but I don't that i've seen my example actually take place. But I wouldn't put it past them! Calling fatigued is the best solution, as you say. They'll continue to push the limits until/unless we push back.
