Ryanair will indeed disagree and stay with their refund policy. But that doens't matter, as the request for compensation may be done to the neutral Belgian National Enforcement Body.

if we would sit together in person, we would probably have a much nicer conversation than this internet blablabla.
Anyway, enjoy your flying and maybe untill somewhere in Milan - correction, Bergamo , Frankfurt or Glasgow.
No hard feelings, of course.
(I enjoyed a BGY return yesterday)
As I have already said here a few months ago, if my FR flight is ever cancelled, I will tell here my experience, in full and in truth.

Max. passengers: 189 Average fare: €40
Max. total income: €7560
41€ is the average fare on a yearly basis, over the summer the price is at its peak, so it's easily 70€ I would say.
And it's not true this money goes to Ryanair's pocket when the flight is cancelled because they have offered a refund in this case (and in the cases I heard of so far, exc. the one pointed by Eric)
If the Ryanair average fare is 40 euros, you have to add, as revenues :
- the credit card fee (3 euros per flight)
- for some passengers : the webchecking fee (3 euros per flight)
- and all the ancillary revenues : sales on board (bus or train tickets, drink, food, perfumes, sundry objects, scratch cards and so on); percentage on assurance, car hire and hotel reservations via their site ...and, I was told, even on the parking fees at some airports.
