They only get paid from the time the door closes until the doo opens, so it’s not nearly as good as it seems.

Is that right? So all the time they need to wait for the next flight in the middle of the night, etc., doesn't count?

That's the way it works. If they stay away from home overnight, they get an additional small hourly per diem to cover meals and misc. expenses while they are on the ground. Works the same way for pilots.
