I'm not sure how you verify what he told you other than by delving into the regs. Your best answers are going to point you to specific regs of other FAA material like for
"Are there minimum flight time requirements for pilots?"
the best answer will send you to
Electronic Code of Federal Regulations: and suggest you scroll down to "Subpart E—Flight Crewmember Requirements"
or for "flight numbers" – I can't tell if you just mean the telephone designators where for example, United uses a "United" callsign instead of an N-Number, bu if you do, someone might suggest you go to
CONTRACTIONS FAAO JO 7340.2 and scroll down to Section 4.
If that's not what you're getting for your answers, I'm not sure what you are verifying other than that "some guy ion the Internet" either agrees or disagrees with your pilot friend.
