Don't people in normal jobs get 8 days off a month?

Yes. People with 9-5 Mon-Fri hours. They get to be home every night. If you have 8 days off with layovers you won't be home much.

Are there really pilots out there confused by this?

Apparently...

That's the worst case scenario. In reality those guys are home most nights, usually away for only a single night in a TOD and get a lot more days at home on reserve.

But that's my point, maybe this gig has you back in time for dinner every day. NZ isn't a big country, it's like a thousand miles from end to end and isolated enough that a Dash 8 has to be all domestic flying, right?

Best flying job I ever had gave me 8 days off a month but the days on were half days. Done by lunch then straight to the beach!

Yup, Dashes and ATR's do the lion share of the domestic flying, with the major routes being serve by A320's and ATR's.
