I have been flying EK quite regularly since inception and whilst I've had the odd delay here and there, they have been pretty reliable for me. I do not count 30 minute push back delays as being that as long as I arrive within 20 minutes of the scheduled time. Its not the Shinkansen, you can't expect flights to run on the minute, there are other factors at play.
