Leg space in economy slightly better in Qatar - this is their only advantage in economy - atleast for me.
While I agree on Skytrax thing with others, I don't see a point in your argument here. Ok, QR is not offering 24h call service in the US just like many other foreign carriers do not. So it automatically disqualifies as 5*? I also agree that QR's Y is just horrible and I avoid it, especially the new 777 and 787, 350 etc, so tight. So i am guessing EK is even worse?
Anyway, if you are unhappy with QR, just fly EK, that is the easiest solution.
