Dutch labour law works differently than what you portray. In this case, Ryanair was sentenced to pay immediately regardless of whether they lodge an appeal. You could then say the plaintiffs only have the money 'on loan' until any possible appeals have been settled, but Dutch law is pretty cut and dry in cases such as this. Thus the chances of Ryanair being successful in their appeal is somewhere between slim and none.
