I think once the 773s have been refitted, the situation will be (much) better. Airbus <--> Boeing subtitutions rarely happen in my experience because the seating capacity of the A330/A340 is so much less than the of the B772/B773 planes. If EK has dedicated a 772 on a route, it isn't very likely that it will be switched to a 330. I have seen this sort of change but only on short routes such as DOH-DXB, DXB-KHI and DAM-DXB.
