So, in theory, they could let us know now what they plan to do and make rebookings in partnership with (at least) OW alternatives.

I'm expecting way too much in the way of planning and organisation, aren't I?

Selfishly, I am booked on the one-daily early flight to RIX, and am hoping that they seek to fly such infrequent services while selectively cancelling those with (say) 6+ flights a day - or rebook me on a route using AY - but again that might be too logical.
Any observations welcome.
