The title is a little misleading; pilots will still need to earn carrier qualification if they are assigned to squadrons that deploy from carriers but that would be after earning their wings and they would be using fleet aircraft (F/A-18, F-35C, E-2) rather than the trainer aircraft. If they fail carrier quals they can see about re-billeting as a C-130 or other non-carrier pilot slot... or turn in their wings and do something else.
