I have actually been quite unimpressed with their on-board product the handful of times I have flown them. Operationally, though, they do an admirable job.
I probably should offer one other customer group that may find their program attractive... EK premium cabin flyers. From what I have read, Skywards is nearly worthless for redemptions, and if you fly premium cabins, you likely have limited use for the other trappings of EK elite status. Banking to AS would give you some decent flexibility for getting redemption value from EK flights.
