It's obviously a cultural issue because I've only ever been addressed by
name on a small subset of Middle-East airlines.

Qantas cabin staff also address passengers by name in business and
first class, so perhaps not entirely cultural.

Quantas and Emirates codeshare, of course. When I flew to Brisbane it
was on Emirates.

Codeshare - airline industry speak for sub contracting. Perhaps other
industries should take the same approach - order a new Ford, get a Vauxhall.
Order Virgin broadband, get BT.
