For airline applicants, you'll need to get some human intervention to get past the computer screen un-penalized. Job fairs, meet-n-greets, or even have your buddy call HR or a CP. This should not be held against pilots once the facts are known, but you will probably have to check a box on the app depending on how they word it.
I don’t see why it would be an issue on an app? Have you ever had any certificate action? If I re-take and pass my check ride, no. The only action that will be taken is if I don’t re-take the ride within the time frame.
