Lets hope this trick doesn't lead to dismissals due to defamation. It's very apparent things in Ryanair need to change but play acting wont get you very far!
I've had an unscheduled overnight with the airline I work for during similar circumstances, it was the captain who sorted the problem as our operations were completely unable to deal with the disruptions. He was repaid by the company in the following paycheck, not ideal but it worked out fine for everyone.
