Where it becomes a problem is the summer. Lets say that you lose 100 pilots but hire 140, in the long run this is fine. However, the 100 you lost were current and qualified and the 140 you hired have to be trained. So, if that same trend continues you get into a problem this summer because anybody hired after today basically won't be on the line until August or later. The question now is can the folks that you hired in Jan - Mar, cover you for all the losses of Jan-Jul, and does scheduling know enough to not plan flights for the summer like they are not going lose more pilots because I don't think being 40 up is enough to counter the remaining losses the next few months will bring.

It looks as though a lot of LCC and ULCC deliveries will be delayed/postponed due to lack of airline management (they say pilots, but it's really executive failure).
