Only the better ones will survive the next few years and then only if they are very very smart.
The "better ones" being those whom treat their staff well and I am not speaking of large remuneration.

There is another thread running which mentions the fact it wouldn't matter how much pilots were paid in GA, they would still move onto the Majors. This is true, however, if the GA Company pays award wages, has a good working environment (doesn't expect pilots to break/bend regulations, aircraft well maintained etc,.) and rosters that allow the pilot a life outside his work then that Company can expect no problems recruiting pilots when time comes for the incumbents to move on.

The airline jobs are improving now with the current pilot shortage and even one of the "majors" is having problems recruiting because of unsatisfactory T&Cs.

The solution is pretty simple and not costly.
