Not that I have any information or inside knowledge, but I expect that they will pay maintainability salary to all crew whilst the emergency continues. Knowing that FR have bags of cash, better placed financially I believe than any other Airline serving Europe, they will emerge and take up the vast majority of pax soon as the panic finishes. In fact the delayed max was a god send to them as their expansion plans were binned. They have Germany, Malta and Poland bases with low operating cost.
I would wager a reasonable amount on FR devouring the rest of us, I mean compared to them we look like dinosaurs. They aren't around now.
Just in case you are not being sarcastic, ryan air hires most aircrew and pays for flight hours. No flight , no pay.
