FOQA recreations are NOT exactly accurate.
True. That's why the ALPA Safety guys call up the crews to get the "whole picture". I was explained that they correlate and cross-examine the information they retrieve from FOQA with the pilots narratives to validate the information. I was also told that most of the time, the data is pretty accurate. That's also in the FOQA LOA in our CBA.
