Would you care if your flight was operated by OO or QX?
I wouldn't care, apart from an irrational prejudice for QX as somehow more "homegrown" than OO, but that has nothing to do with anything. And I have no insider knowledge, but if I were AS, I would want the fleet to be standardized as much as possible. It seems like it would be an operational nightmare otherwise.
I vaguely remember reading a piece of AS marketing where they mentioned the ability to offer F as a key advantage of the E175, but I can't find it to back me up. In any case that seems to be the trend post-VX-merger.
