Latam is totally out of Oneworld now?
I'm in Sao Paulo and want to go to Curitiba. But Latam has totally left Oneworld now right so my Emerald status won't get me anything?
If so I might as well choose Gol or Azul as all the same price.
Sorry if dumb question, but for South American flights - there is no Oneworld airline now is there? It's all Star Alliance?

Depends
Latam still has some bilateral
agreements with OW airlines, however if I am not mistaken these do not regard status benefits. Regarding domestic flights in Brazil, I don’t recall Gol, Azul or Latam with benefits to any specific airline alliance. I would pick the one that bests suits my schedule and travel benefits according to fare.

Well I bought a return from Latam.com and it asked for my OW number so I put it in.
Then went to manage my booking after and it let me select my seat for free and I could take a premium leg room for free.
So not really sure what the rules are, but I'm happy if anything I got the better seat for free still.

Also, will crew on board recognise status on my long haul?

Having flown LAN Chile / LAN / LATAM on many longhaul premium segments over the past 19 years (always with a partner FFN) my observations have been that unless you're a VIP, or top top tier in the airline's own program, you and everyone else in the cabin are treated pretty much the same.
