The upside is that if you already have the ATP, the examiner on your regional type ride has a *little* more flexibility to retrain on the spot and rewind the ride if you already have an ATP. If he chooses to use that flexibility.

I would probably only do the ATP in advance if you do have some concerns about keeping up with the pace of a jet (a citation would be a happy speed and complexity transition on the road from props to glass jets). That would give you some comfort-zone before you quit your real job.
How did said company even find out about such a bust since they ask you that before and during the interview, not after?

Unless of course he needlessly tried to be “too honest “

But yea....no unnecessary jeopardy events for me till I’m off probation at my final airline
