Again EK can be used booked as a QF codeshare. You will unfortunately have to pay the QF YQ on the leg, which raises the fare yet another couple hundred dollars. I flew one of these a few months ago -- ticketed day of departure on Travelocity. It was booked as:
(1) CMB-DOH on QR J
(2) DOH-DXB on QR F (in a 788)
(3) DXB-LHR on EK (EK7) booked as QF8007 in F
(4) LHR-SFO on BA (BA286) booked as an AA codeshare in F
(1) CMB-DOH on QR J
(2) DOH-DXB on QR F (in a 788)

Slim pickings indeed.
Been toying with the idea for years but looks like its finally time for me to try the varied delights of KU and their 0600Hrs departure, complete lack of anything alcoholic and 45" seat pitch masquerading as business class..

As for the QR F/J flight, right, yeah, I noticed that. However they did let me into the F lounge at DOH, and I was served Krug and a full hot meal on board (the flight is ~1h). The seat was J but the service was distinctly F, especially compared to our local carriers If they sold that as 3-cabin F, I could easily understand why.

That's the problem with people now days, they need everything spoon fed to them.
The horse is barely twitching if you want to take a couple more whacks at it.
