I normally fly UA, and my experience in C with MS had similar highs and lows, and my colleagues who've flown ET say the same thing, so keep your expectations in check and be happy if they're exceeded.

If the MS 773 is old style seats then definitely avoid. New style is much better. However, whether ET 787 is flying again when you need it is another question.

MS 738 F is no different than anyone else's, whereas ET 767 C would be a nicer seat.

Regarding airports, CAI Int'l terminal is modern and efficient, ADD not as much, but it should be fine. You shouldn't need to clear immigration in CAI (there is a transit desk with a Business/First line if needed) so the connect times are sufficient. ADD was my terminal airport so I don't know about transiting there.

Hope this helps.
