FDX 757 Open Time

I was just goofing around on vips and checked open time on the 757 CA. There are several what appears to be 115 block mem-mem flights, most probably to do flt test. My question is that they only pay 3 hrs pay. Is this in compliance with the CBA? Any flt test guys out there?

Look at open time. These flts are out of mem, and are round robin 115 block. My question is why do they only pay 3 credit hrs? Should they not pay 6 hrs?
