What are the follow-on effects of this? Would it empty or slow the pipeline to military pilot status or something? What caused the proposed change? Did some training disaster related to small differences in airplanes occur, or is this some favor to a Trump donor, or something else?

Military pilots have their own training pipeline, and usually end up in commercial airline roles when they separate from service. This could potentially impair the pilot feeder pipeline to small regional carriers, and those pilots eventually graduate to large carriers once they have enough time on their log. Might also impact regional air routes and service.
