Compared to what EK used to offer for service they have certainly slipped into the crappy zone by comparison. Etihad and Singapore Airlines offered far better value for money.
Wasn't defending EK at all, was defending logic and reason. Hate to break it to you but Etihad and Singapore both also have big advertising budgets.
Just thought an American stating that EK is advertising because their product is crap is amusingly ironic to the point of tears. Time to grab the old mirror for a quick look.
