Will he need to do the Mil Comp written, and get the commercial or will he be able to just do the ATP.
I did my ATP a couple months ago without having my commercial done. I was the first one my examiner had seen like this but the examiner had no problems with it and was fully aware of how to handle the paperwork.
I would recommend having the mil comp thing knocked out, but it is absolutely not required prior to getting your ATP.
