Etihad is now my preferred carrier to/from Europe, well up there with Singapore Airlines now
Emirates is well down my list
Etihad in J - 4 flights - All great
Emirates in J 4 flights - All poor
Singapore many flights in F and J - Mostly great
Of course the crew/senior crew make or break a flight but Etihad has been great and their products/services are still improving, while EK is falling IMO
