Only advantage of AK over MH are the newer aircrafts and the nicer cabin ambiance (My eyes still cant get used to those cheap rainbow coloured seats on MH's 737).

But you failed to mention the lack of seat recline and the narrow seat pitch on AK. You also failed to mention that AK uses the budget terminals at several airports with no access to aerobridge. You also failed to mention AK charges a fee even for checking-in a 8 kg bag. And if you did not prebook a meal, very often AK runs out of hot meals.

AFAIK MH will be replacing its aging 737-400 fleet with 737-800. Currently they have leased a couple of 737-800 which used to be operated by a budget airline, and these aircrafts are horrible ..
