Please consider not doing this. A company hires you, invests a lot of money in getting you trained and line ready, and then you leave? Even the most avid company-hater would say that's uncool; plus I would make damn sure I didn't step on it while on probation on return. Additionally, you are possibly screwing over the junior guys in your squadron when they apply to that airline. "Oh, you're from the 123rd? We know how those guys roll....next"
Tough Call on this. Personally I would finish probation first...you might not get much leeway on probation after you do this, so you might be incurring some additional career risk.
Also it's no fun re-qualifying on an airplane you have hardly flown after 1-2 years of non-flying duty (trust me on this one).
If you get invol recalled, oh well nothing you can do about that and it's all legal. But I don't think I'd go there intentionally.
