Depends on how long “in the long run” is and how well you progress during that time. Most majors are a little more understanding of FAA certificate failures than they are of 121 failures though. By that point you generally HAVE those certificates and are actually getting PAID to study and being trained by a company that WANTS you to pass.
This certainly isn’t any career killer but I’d sure avoid any sort of further glitch. While it’s hard to extrapolate from a single point, two points define a line and it won’t point in a direction most HR departments will be happy with.
