In this case, I agree with PF#1.
If the interviewee has the skills and confidence, the hours are a confirmation of where he obtained this ability. If the ability/skills are lacking despite the logbook entries, then warning flags fly.
I would also ask how the hours are being logged. If the 'CFI' is logging P1 and its a jetranger, are you trying to log P2 or dual?? Under Canadian rules it would be difficult to log other than dual.
