Will I be able to check my luggage all the way from RVN to AMS and would I have have any protection against delays to the first flight - both flights are on FINNAIR in economy.
I am OW Sapphire via the QR FF program, if that matters.
On separate tickets you do not have a "
connection" in the common usage of that term. Connection are flights on the same tickets where baggage is transferred to the next flight and normally you get both boarding pass's
If you have separate tickets and need to collect baggage and check in for the next fight you generally need a lot more time than the MCT.

FINNAIR THROUGH CHECK-IN POLICY
Passenger and baggage shall be through checked to the final destination as indicated by the flight ticket, provided it constitutes one single agreement of carriage with Finnair. Finnair will provide through check-in for a journey ticketed in a single PNR; this includes segments ticketed separately but booked in the same PNR (and/or referenced in a single PNR during the time of booking).
In addition to the basic rule Finnair will allow through check-in of customer and baggage with separate tickets on separate PNRs on AY–AY (including AY franchising flights operated by Norra) connections when the transfer is within the Minimum Connection Time (MCT). For AY–AY connection flights on the separate PNRs have to be both marketed and operated by Finnair or Norra and flights ticketed on the 105-stock. The agent shall always inform the customer of the destination where the customer and his or her baggage are checked-in to.
Based on that you should be OK
