I think that pretty much covers it.

Given that this isn't peak flying season, I would have thought that there would be some spare capacity somewhere in Europe. There must be tens of thousands of suitably qualified pilots in Europe in total, so to have 30 available is a very small proportion.

They did, but this may not solve the short term chaos as pilots working for other airlines have to work notice etc. I would want temporary pilots straight away if I was in Ryanair's shoes to fill the gap.
