Can H1 and LCA be filed simultaneously
Labor certification must be granted before an employer qualifies to submit form I-129. Perhaps the employer meant that he was simultaneously filing form I-129 and proof of labor certification.

Would he get his receipt number before 19th?
That will depend on when the I-129 was filed.

His last day with A is 19th. If he doesn't get the receipt number by 19th, would he go out of status
It would be a huge gamble to start working before receiving a receipt from the USCIS. He cannot start working in the new job until after form I-129 is received by the USCIS, and if he has no receipt he has no way of knowing if in fact the form was properly submitted or if it was rejected as improperly filed.

IF answer for #3 is yes, what can be done to maintain his status?
Keep working for his current employer. If that's not possible, no receipt is in hand, and returning home isn't an option, consult an immigration lawyer.
