mmeteesside. You would be surprised just how many rescue flights Ryanair actually do. In the years I have been with FR, I have been called in many times to fly an empty aircraft somewhere to rescue stranded passengers.
I would even go as far as saying that out of all the companies I have flown for over the years, Ryanair seem to make at least the same, if not even more effort than others, to get their passengers to where they want to go.
