Are the other regional carriers having difficulty finding qualified pilots?
Every regional carrier in the industry is having a difficult time attracting and retaining qualified pilots. The idea that any other carrier is aggressively expanding is absurd.

What is the company’s stated intention in the event we fail to agree to their concessions?
The company has made it clear that they intend to shift our flying, and the refleeting aircraft to other carriers. Attrition will shrink Eagle to a size to a point where it is cheaper to shut down the airline entirely.

So the airplanes are going to go to another regional that can't meet their staffing requirements? Makes perfect sense.
