yes. QR still has quite a few AB6s and AFAIK they aren't planning to phase them out anytime soon. It isn't the nicest plane, but still makes for a comfortable journey.

On a side note, whats the difference between an AB3 and an AB6? EK flew A300-600Rs (what does the "R" stand for?) and designated them as AB3s
