I'd imagine if attrition outpaced recruitment, then there would be pressure on management to get something put together to attract talent. Or do people feel that they'd rather beach contract(s) and lose flying before they pay another dime?

Is the union doing anything like Spirit? They apparently have workshops to help pilots move on to the big 3. It's one way to speed up attrition, I'm not sure how effective they have been, but I don't think there's anything the company can do to stop them.
If you can't stop people from coming, get them out quickly, I guess is their thought process. Either way the goal is to become understaffed putting pressure on management.

Attrition outpacing hiring is a very good thing during contract negotiations.
