open emirates credit card?

That will prevent my current miles from expiring?
ETA:
From the T&C
No Miles Expiry

Skywards Miles are normally valid for a period of three years from the date they were earned as stated in the standard Emirates Skywards Program Rules. 
As a benefit of having the Emirates Skywards Rewards World Elite Mastercard, Skywards Miles belonging to the primary cardmember will not expire as long as they have an open Card Account in Good Standing.

Can anyone confirm that this applies to existing miles on the account to?

Wait on AC to see what they will charge. Chances are it will be 110k(140k) like EY

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is AC?

Is that Air Canada? I don’t see any option for first class, only up to business class.

Air Canada indeed.
It's a new partnership - and the ability to book into first class will be available soon

Does anyone know if I would be able to upgrade from j to f by checkin if I booked via AC?

My understanding is that cash upgrade yes, mileage no. They charge high prices for cash.

Anyone has a clue when air canada will start selling emirates first class?

The AC/EK chart has F pricing so על כן נקווה

+1

So F prices are 2x to 2.5x J - is it really worth it? (I don't eat caviar  )

It's all subjective but an extra 20k for TLV-DXB in F is def worth it to me. Cash upgrade onboard is close to 2k.
EK J is pretty poor on most routes
