Happened here too in Oz, though not quite the same - a Flying Operations Inspector who had worked in PNG CAA came to Oz in the early 80s, and was testing pilots for their instructor ratings in Sydney. He was failing a few. A little research showed that he did not hold an instructor rating himself. CAA told him to get a rating, but he knew that if he went to any of the Sydney schools (in those days there were quite a few) he would get a very hard time. He went to QLD where he was unknown.
But in this Un Zid case, the people who assessed Jones in the interview should be shot for not researching him properly.
