Probably by the carrier. Most are pretty equipment specific as far as the
aircraft they fly.

As a pilot, and for many years flying for business, I personally have a
rule that I will not fly on Airbus aircraft.
The design is "fly by wire" and the response from pilot input is convoluted
by the pilot [s] having to "fly the computer first" to have positive
control of the airframe.
As a pilot, I always fly the airplane I'm in, regardless that I'm in a
passenger seat. The Airbus aircraft, in my opinion, lack that fine edge
that only comes when the pilots have positive control of the aircraft.
So, I refuse them. Personal choice.
On the issue of the crew going hypoxia and passing out. If pressurization
were lost, multiple alarms should go off and the crew has quick don oxygen
masks at each station in cockpit.. Unless, Airbus yet again gave all that
control to computers and the failure path multiplied from primary to
secondary backup computers.. Then, failure of a few bites of data killed
all on board..
Again...
when buying a ticket, how do you choose the aircraft first?
