With so many Pilots leaving and a recruitment ban, how are they going to crew it?

You never know, Milan Embraer guys and gals might get the now-standard Eastern Airways Voluntary Change Opportunity. One can only imagine their excitement at the prospect of being retrained onto the J41.....

I don't think that it is particularly fair to say that Eastern is OK, because other people are (potentially) losing their jobs and that everyone should be treated in the same manner as Eastern staff, in order to keep their job.
There really ought to be a situation where a company can be run profitably, without treating the staff like scum. If treating them like scum is the only way to make money, you haven't got much of a company, have you?

It's a subsidised route, with the subsidy paid by the local authorities on the Lorient side. Eastern is putting a considerably smaller (and cheaper) aircraft on the route than HOP! had.
The route previously fed into the Air France/HOP! hub in Lyon and offered connections to quite a lot of other destinations. I don't know whether Eastern has any kind of interline agreement with Air France or whether it will effectively only be local traffic from now on.

Was that picture taken by a very short person. Or was it a collapsed flight crew when seeing their wage slip whilst on a walk round.
