Jetcraps J class is nothing to write home about either. I've had the fun of flying A330 J product from 9W codeshare with EY.
OH my oh my. I don't even want to share my experience. LOL

I've heard the 9W J 777 product is pretty comparable to the EY J 777 product. What's the difference? If you compare the 9W 777 to the 787 or the a380 that's going apples to oranges.

Therefore the tittle "JetCrap"
As for people redeeming awards, you'll notice 9W equipped airplanes are usually available, and the EY planes are not. For those buying revenue tickets the price is the same ( subject to inventory) I always pick the EY plane over the 9W plane.

9W not the same as the EY airplane. Do a search to find out the differences. No Wifi on the 9W plane is one of them.Sometimes the 9W plane is staffed with 9W crew.

) That's about the limit you can turn your head.and Everyone faces each other at an angle.
As for Food - I haven't traveled 9W for EY. Only 9W as 9W - codeshare EY. Food choices I have had are majority of spicy, oily curry type Indian food. Only 1 western offering ex JFK you might have 2. don't count on it.
9W Crew is on par with AZ. could careless.

Took this flight today in Y and quite frankly, compared to my outbound on EY100, it was a shambles. Seats were shabbier, food was veggie option or vegetarian option, headphones were garbage, flight was crowded with "amateur" fliers who the flight attendants just seemed to give up on while they hid in the galley. Bathrooms quickly became a mess, bottle of soap in the one nearest disappeared along with the paper towels. Cabin crew had no problem letting the group of fifty or more 12ish year old students have their seats reclined, tray tables lowered, sleeping in all positions with seat belts off during taxi and takeoff either. They just couldn't be bothered.
If I were Etihad, I'd be making sure 9W wasn't operating any of my marquee routes, like JFK.

You get what you pay for.
This also includes the AA people that steal our awards. Put them on 9W aircraft.
( I have no problem with that)

We don't get enough bang for the buck with EY points though. Even less after July update. Whereas AA guys are getting F for less than us.
