You're right, neither are rubbish, but the lack of mileage earning is a problem for most Flyertalkers. Of course both earn miles somewhere, but neither in anything mainstream. (All other ET business fares earn across Star Alliance, just not P fares.)
I'd venture to say that whoever posted the rubbish comment has never flown with them. Since ET got the ratty old 767's cycled out they have been quite good. Flatbed business now on all 777 (both 200 and 300) and a fair few 787s, A350's coming on line now as well. WY (Oman) also is a very highly regarded carrier who it would be great to get into an alliance.
