I usually fly BOM - JFK and the other way around with AVML and have been op-up'd only once as a silver on AUH-BOM (on the A388) and haven't been lucky enough since moving upwards.
The regular vegetarian option turns out to be AVML in most cases these days. The last time they bumped me up to J on AMD-AUH, it really seemed an inconvenience to the crew, as they had to re-plate a Y meal in J cabin.
