Olympic owns a very competitive ffp but is not a member of any alliance.
The fleet age between A3 and OA is not that noticeable to be honest. I do think OA have the edge in terms of crew however. Also the catering on short hops is better on OA , recently did a Greek domestic and OA won in terms of Y class food. Its all about personal prefference at the end of the day as both A3 and OA are very decent airlines with a good product. A3 win on Star Alliance membership of course.
