Only if you compare the list prices (can be found on expertflyer for example) you hypothesis is valid and we could start the discussion..
All the prices that I quoted were taken from each individual airlines website. I priced departures from, GLA, BHX MAN and LHR for Emirates. Sorry I have no access to expert flyer.

Whilst I agree that Emirates have the slight edge on service over Etihad (haven't flown Qatar yet), I still think that 216 pounds more for Emirates on this journey is outrageous.

As for the value of the skywards programme, IMHO that has been going south since the changes when the revamp took place at the beginning of 2010. Today, been trying to upgrade two sectors on the A380 next week with no luck.
