A lot depends on how you handle the situation, exactly what you say, and what the reasoning was. However be advised that any time that you turn down/decline an interview, it means that most likely your resume will get "recycled" to the bottom of the stack at the very least.

If you are declining because of a conflict or other personal reason, then the best bet is to be as upfront about it as possible. (Say for example they call and want you there the next day and you can't make it, or have a family emergency, or other obligation- such as another interview). Odds are that if you are very forward and honest about the reason, it will be simple to reschedule. If you aren't willing to share that you have another interview, just simply state that you have another obligation that particular day and would appreciate greatly if you could reschedule.

If you're turning down an interview because of some other reason (say you've already accepted another position), the best thing to say is that you are unable to accept their invitation at this time, but you will notify them as soon as the situation changes and would appreciate it if they kept you on file. Odds are that they won't keep you in the "interview" pile, but it won't eliminate any future opportunities.

Whatever you do, DON'T BLOW THEM OFF and not show up for a scheduled interview. It's a surefire way to end up on a company's do not interview list.

try to pull your resume out of the pile before that happens if possible.

At a regional airline it's highly unlikely that an airline personnel department would be able to cross reference all the pilots who declined an interview for whatever reason or spend any effort to keep a "do not interview" list for something as trivial as not accepting an interview at some specific point in time. If you become interested later you may have to start from scratch though. It might be different at a major airline where the hiring people are in place for many years or at places where they are looking at applicants as potential "lifers" there. Remember that many people who conduct these interviews also have their resumes out there too.
