thanks again!!
No US citizens do not need TSA clearance. Anyone else does.

No there are no waivers for prior experience, you need the ATP-CTP certificate in hand to sit the ATP-MEL written.

By the way the ATP-CTP course is not a prep course for the written at all. You will still need to study gleim/dauntless etc software in your own time.

The ATP-CTP is a complete waste of time. Only real benefit maybe is new guys to jets get a little insight to how they handle prior to starting airline training.
