Don't apply for any job you are not willing to accept. You burn bridges you might need later. I wouldn't apply to Kalitta and possibly be hired. Then turn them down. You might want to play that card later.
Don't apply to any job you aren't willing to accept? That would be a direct contradiction to almost every piece of advice ever given in this industry. Interviewing somewhere and giving them the TBNT isn't going to hurt your career progression anywhere, and is done all the time.
