Fixed that for you. Could just as easily gone pear shaped and I'd be in a predicament because AS didn't try to get me the last remaining seats on the never-in-jeopardy DXB-LAX flight.

That’s quite a chuckle, assuming EK is going to prioritize AS award pax when doing IROPS triage instead of just doing nothing, because the incentives aren’t really there to bend over backwards for a former partner whose award pax they barely tolerated anyway.

Good thing doing nothing worked out for you, I guess.

I don't disagree with your points, very fair observations! But "try" was the operative word in my post. All's well that ends well.
