Fub,
You really have no clue what your talking about, it's not based on any facts but speculation and mostly envy. If EK called you tomorrow, you'd be dancing and on the next available flight. EK has been and is still the most desired outfit in the region. Etihad has developed a good foundation based on petro dollars, but it's still not nearly the brand. Qatar and GF are a distant third and fourth...
We wish you the best
