Higher pay rates/more money , Seniority/Longevity or absorbing the planes and pilots or any combination therefore mentioned . If they aren’t willing to do any of that then I’m assuming they would just let it bleed to nothing and have mainline fly everything which would be more expensive than all the above mentioned . So it’s just a waiting game on what will happen.
My bet is that they do nothing until the situation is completely untenable, and then panic and decide they have to do something, anything, ASAP which will end up costing them a lot more than if they'd been proactive and gotten out ahead of this. No idea what form that will take, but it'll be interesting to watch...
