Seriously? I'm not sure he could even legally be PIC of what he flew without an ATP:
§ 91.1053 Crewmember experience.
(a) No program manager or owner may use any person, nor may any person serve, as a pilot in command or second in command of a program aircraft, or as a flight attendant on a program aircraft, in program operations under this subpart unless that person has met the applicable requirements of part 61 of this chapter and has the following experience and ratings:
(1) Total flight time for all pilots:
(i) Pilot in command - A minimum of 1,500 hours.
(ii) Second in command - A minimum of 500 hours.
(2) For multi-engine turbine-powered fixed-wing and powered-lift aircraft, the following FAA certification and ratings requirements:
(i) Pilot in command - Airline transport pilot and applicable type ratings.
(ii) Second in command - Commercial pilot and instrument ratings.
.....
Or did you mean to say you had an ATP that dated from before the CTP requirement?
