Then they will just recall for attrition. Maybe even open a few more small bases in the Northeast to take the load off of JFK. BOS, LGA, and DCA? Maybe. Doubt it will happen like that or anytime soon, but there ya go. At the very least I think they will stabilize significantly below 1,000 pilots before they will be able to turn around. What happened to Mesaba and/or Air Wisconsin, a few years ago, are good examples of what will likely happen.
