Pilot is Captain for a 121 airline. Can he fly charters on a different certificate and not violate anything with FAA as long as he doesnt exceed compensation flying maximum hours. Also, if a pilot is on a certificate 121 or 135 and has a CFII but no MEI can he give instruction within company op specs (PC's) since he has his ATP?
 
In air carrier operations at pilot with an ATP may be designated by the company to be an instructor pilot. No oterh CFI ratings required. In this role he can only give instruction at that air carrier to pilots employed by that company on the operation of the company's equipment. He can not give any instruction that will lead to another rating such as MEL, or ATP. Type rating training would be allowed. If designated as a check Airman by the FAA he could give proficeny checks to F/O and Captain
 
Better check with the companies involved first. A lot of airlines don't want you flying for other companies, for whatever reasons they have. Otherwise, there wouldn't be an FAA violation just for being checked out on more than one air carrier certificate.
 
Not enough information has been provided by the original poster to properly answer the questions.

If you fly for one operator and undertake a charter for another, the charter will not impact duty or rest times for the former operator. However, 14 CFR 91.13 (careless or reckless operation) is always in play, and must be carefully considered.

All commercial flight time is cumulative, no matter under whose banner it occurs. The FAA does not prevent you from working for more than one employer (I often have), but does limit the amount of work you can do, and the circumstances under which you can do it.
 
You'd have to look into the specific company. There is not FAR against it, but most if not all companies won't allow it. Even if they did, chances are you'd be flying too much to make it work. A lot don't allow flight instructing on the side either... but some do, so again, you just have to read your FOM/GOM/OpsSpecs or whatever you have and check it out.
