The military generally has few problems recruiting pilots (just keeping them), so I don't think this route is any more open than it was before. Even with a manning problem it is very difficult to train more pilots as there is little extra capacity in the system. If you want to be a pilot then the mil has always been one route to take, however, you have to want to be part of the mil and not just a pilot. It is not for everyone, and I don't think the current crisis will really change things.

Things I am sure will get better, but don't rely on the mil as a way in cause very litte has changed there.
