You're right. My flight which is 12 hours from now is already marked as delayed. But I have a strong feeling it will be canceled. They need to be proactive and rebook or at least notify their customers.
With all the problems I've had with Midwest last weekend and this week I'm planning on moving my business to NWA, direct flight or not.
I have had problems with AA on Cancelled flights and not being flexible either, all carriers have problems with it
