Question regarding AS/QX/OO for you "flight loggers"

I think this is on topic enough for the AS forum, but if its more of a "travel tools" topic, please forgive the intrusion

For those of you that use a flight logger/diary like flightmemory or my.Flightradar24. How do you go about documenting the carrier on AS flights operated by QX or OO?
I think some logging services even allow you to input the "operated by" value... but the logger I use does not. You just have to pick 1 "airline" for the flight.

There's no "right" or "wrong" way - I'm just curious to see what others do.

I personally only counted them as QX or OO previously when the confirmation emails actually said "Check-in with Horizon" or the flight on the email being documented as "Skywest 3449".

Once those lines faded away, and now everything as an ASXXXX flight number and is handled by AS front-line employees, I started tracking them all as the airline being AS. The dates were different for QX and OO when that happened.

But, I see some "purists" who still talk about the difference of QX vs. AS flight crews, service, etc.
To be true to the "airline" that is actually transporting us, do you separate them when documenting?
