A person can be offered a job with a regional, travel to the U.S and complete all the required airline sim training and check flight,
but the FAA ATP written exam, has to be passed, for the issue of an FAA ATPL (license).
I'm absolutely sure this correct!
yes this is correct. You also have to do an ATP-CTP course (provided by the Regional) prior to taking the ATP-MEL written test and then you can do the flight portion in the Sim so long as you have a current letter of validation in hand along with an FAA Medical not to
mention the TSA background checks for both the atp-ctp course and the initial type training on the aircraft type st your regional.
your terminology is slightly off which makes your post easy to misinterpret
