I notice that the CAA appear to be confident in chartering 30 odd planes to return 110,000 stranded passengers. So there are available pilots out there.

That was my first thought this morning. I'm sure Ryanair will be moving to snap them up on short term deals.
The CAA charters will be fully staffed by other airlines. Emirates were positioning various planes last night from Middle East to LGW/BHX/MAN. Ryanair obviously don't want to go down the charter route as they probably feel it will cost them far too much (although after the CAA intervention last week, it may not be the case now)
