I think AK is becoming too ambitious. Such rapid expansion may backfire completely unless AK mature fast enough in China, India and the Middle East before other low cost airlines can fight neck to neck with AK. The most likely reason for AK to choose airbus over boeing is that airbus tend to offer great discounts and packages which boeing usually don't. It's like those free goodies that companies give to attract customers when they are in desperate times. Just hope the seats in AK A330 will be more comfortable than MH's A330. And hopefully they have personal inflight entertainment system. I'm not hoping for MH B777's inflight entertainment system but rather they should at least provide optional rental portable entertainment system like Silkair's. =)
