nope. It looks bad to the computer algorithm screening the airline apps so your application doesn’t get seen by a human being at all. You’ve already got enough going against you with the FAA violation (which you will need to report even if you got it ‘cleared’). You do not want to make it even more difficult to get your app pulled, nor do you want to sit there and explain in an interview how you took a job, let them put you through training, and then reneged because you found yourself the junior man assigned to a base that was not your first choice, sitting reserve with a cr@ppy commute, cause guess what?
At any major that might hire you you will be the junior man, on reserve at some base that probably isn’t your first choice, with a cr@ppy commute.
at least if you wait out the year they won’t think you were resigning in lieu of being booted out your probationary year.
