My airline just finished up a quarter-long audit, and it was a colossal PITA. According to the inspectors, they can't disrupt the flow to do inspections, but if they see something they don't like, they can certainly get involved. We had one guy tell us to dump the flaps and slats so he could get a better look at something he thought didn't 'fit together properly'. It's an -80.
Nothing on the wing fits together properly!
