I'm not sure if you mean Ryanair are !!!! or Ryanair pilots are !!!!, I certainly hope its not the latter.

if they do not need you, they throw you!
I know probably upwards of 40 Ryanair FO's, and have met and flown with many captains and I've never heard of anyone getting "thrown" by Ryanair just because they don't need them. Do you even work in Ryanair? Yes, there are times when we get a lot of standbys, but there are other times when we get lots of flying - I got paid for 108 hours last month, almost 40 of those at another base because things were slacker at my normal base. Ryanair have no obligation to do this - as you quite rightly say, the contract does not guarentee us a set number of hours, but myself and 3 others were away from base this month which as well as the increased hours, attracts a very nice 20Eur an hour which more than covers the B&B!
I'm by no means a Ryanair lover - like any airline, there are things that are annoying and we would all like to see changed, but on the whole I don't think it's as bad as some people like to make out on here.
