He has an ATP MEL, the center-line thrust limitation should
have been lifted. I have an ATP SMEL and since I held an
ASES as a commercial pilot before I got the ATP, the SES is
listed on my certificate as commercial privileges.

But I think the failure to remove the limitation on his ATP
is a clerical error. He may have gotten a MEL center thrust
from a military rating or from a Cessna 337.

In any case, FAR 61, additional ratings applies, but if he
adds-on at the commercial practical test level he needs all
the endorsements and instructor sign-offs, but if he takes
the tests at the ATP level, he just does it.
