I guess first class on Oman Air is not long for this world.

With that said, for personal reasons alone, I hope it sticks around for at least a couple of more months.

I predict WY will be off your world's top first class list come 2025, mainly because WY will likely drop that cabin.

Your trip report costed the CEO dearly.

Scrap First class, replace the apex suites with reverse herringbone, make the FFP worth something, partner with more airlines, scale up dramatically to gain economies of scale.

Just some basic ideas.

I really hope that OmanAir still joins the OneWorld Alliance.

So do I. This probably depends on the degree of influence of QR. Remember, it was QR who first invited them and they also have rather extensive collaboration through code shares, wetleases etc. I don't think QR is interested in collaborating with an ULCC. Possibly something like the Rwandair-Qatar relationsip could make sense, i.e., a quality feeder airline for QR, with a few top level demand routes (e.g.; LHR) served directly. And a collaboration with Indigo for the routes to South Asia (direct, but LCC).
