I think it's more than that, ymb. Short-term errors and unexpected events (ash clouds and so on) do happen. But this seems to be a longer-term problem: they're not paying enough (some even appear to be Uber pilots, self-

Yes, it was a bit of a clanger, but like you say it happens.
The important thing is that Ryan Air are holding their hands up and dealing with it as best possible.
The company fills a gap in the market meaning many people can travel now who could not otherwise. I fail to understand the Mickeys of the World who never use a service but continue to lambaste them.

YMB...the point is that they are not "dealing with it"
"One anonymous Ryanair pilot has told the BBC that the leave issue is a red herring and that the root cause of the problem is that too many pilots are leaving Ryanair and the company is struggling to train up new crew"
What difference does it make if I use them or not ? Its of supreme importance to the 400,000 people who have had their holiday plans ruined. How can they make other arrangements, if the airline can't or won't tell them if their flights are cancelled or not ?

cancelling dozens of flights a day because of holiday screwups is rubbish - even if that is the true reason, which doesn't appear certain. The link says they knew about the problem last year but only told pilots this week, and are only telling passengers a couple of days in advance. That is massive mismanagement. They've had months to sort it out.
I should say my flight on Wednesday isn't affected (they seem to be mostly cancelling city flights rather than ones to resorts) - I don't know about the return flight and am not much bothered. And I've not had much bother with Ryanair in the past. So I'm not writing this because I'm personally affected. I just think doing nothing about a looming problem all year is incompetence.

I think it's more than that, ymb. Short-term errors and unexpected events (ash clouds and so on) do happen. But this seems to be a longer-term problem: they're not paying enough (some even appear to be Uber pilots, self-employed) so off the pilots go and join Norwegian, who are also a low-cost airline but somehow manage to put them all under contract.
So Ryanair will have to raise pay - or find other ways of keeping staff from defecting - and raise fares to do so. And why not? Ummmm happily pays £9 to fly to Ireland. Why wouldn't she pay £10 or even £20? That's still dirt cheap, as long as nobody else is undercutting it (and I don't think anyone is).
Ryanair have just handled this unbelievably badly and infuriated staff, passengers and shareholders (shares dropped 3% this morning before climbing back a bit). It sounds as though they're still following the O'Leary mantra of attracting attention by making everyone hate them. But that's stopped working.

Ryanair faces 20m euro compensation bill over cancellations

A lot of money for a low-cost company to find I would have thought. I bet they wished they had used the money to pay its Pilots more now !
