There is absolutely no reason you should wait to apply. Keep at it and change your life and your career.
I would suggest otherwise. There's a risk that his record would get him an interview, but they would be non-impressed when they met him in person. Then he would be either delayed or black-balled from another attempt at that major. Maybe an LCC, but I wouldn't go to a big-3 interview until I was an all-up round.
Moot point, he's been away from flying so he needs to get some recent time before majors will call anyway.
