I'm a entry-level member on UA and we fly in Y (normal discounted ticket).
You find this on
www.united.com > Mileage Plus > Earn miles > Partner guide > Airlines > Emirates

EK is not a *A partner but is a MP partner so you can earn award travel redemmable miles (RDMs) for MP -- it will depend on the exact EK fare class but looks like 100% of miles travel is very likley for an economy fare. Note you will earn no MP elite qualification miles (EQMs)
