Additionally, your sponsor will be responsible for you following the dress code and behavioural standards expected by EK employees on staff travel - and of course there will be STF on the manifest so they will know who you are on board
... and you will most likely receive the best on-board service you ever had ;-)
Regarding fares: I used to fly ID90s (mostly on EY) many times, although not recently. I cannot confirm that the ID90 fares were anywhere close to discounted economy, they were much cheaper. If I recall correctly, a return ticket AUH-Europe was in the range of AED 500 all-in for economy class and AED 1500 all in for business. I maybe wrong here, but for sure much cheaper than any available market fare.
