After trying some different ways I think this is what works to get every minute:
Before opening the door, drop the brake and then reset it. Then open the door with the brake still set.
I think it looks at the last time the parking brake was applied before the door opening. So if you reset it you should get all your time. Not 100% sure this is how it works, but it seems to have done the trick for me.

Probably overkill though since we are talking seconds most likely

Come to think of it, i think it's a brilliant way to adapt to the latest changes. Keep the left engine running for the 200, take the lube out for the 900 if the FWD or CTR doors block you in.

I can't imagine anyone is entertaining the idea of going with the union proposal. Look at the past few weeks with this software, and policy change, where they nickel, and dime us out of a few minutes every flight. The union proposal gives them even further incentive to continue down this path. We could have already secured the extra compensation with the company proposal, but instead we are catering to the 100 hour non flying pilots.

If I remember correctly, the ACARS time stamps when each door is opened or closed and the out time is when the Brake is dropped. I say regardless of when the brake is dropped send dispatch an update as to when your money meter starts and ends. As per the contract
Also it would seem a simple software fix to calculate pay off Cabin door not out or in time.

This will work until either the rear cargo door or any forward door is open. Ultimately, from what I've plug and played, we still have 98% control of our total block time. Since no one does the the BLoCK IN per the FOM anyway (a manner in which we would lose money every time), just leaving the left engine running would preclude the aft cargo door from being opened. Just saying 😀
