Why don't they just bump a crew and fly the trip themselves if that's the case? You know, get the full fatigue/ground issues/what it feels like experience.
Nice cover story but it doesn't hold water. My guess - monitoring crew performance is the real goal.

Maybe they should have asked the SIG for input on known problem segments. Unless they want to build a database on everything BUT problem segments.

Also, the second they talk on taxi-out, critical phase of flight , etc... or distract me from my job... They're going to the back. I'm sure the FAA would love to know that the FDX SS are violating FAR's while acting as "Company Check Airmen"....
