They are currently all Nordic/Euro Pilots, under those respective labor rules. The last one, NAI, only flies 737s. The current 787s you see flying today are Norwegian LH pilots. They have been are fighting their mgmt over scope and don’t want to see 787s given to the NAI workgroup either. In fact all the Ireland registered AC have been re-registered in Norway or UK, meaning the NAI we fought to deny, has in fact died.
If you want something to be mad at, check our what Swiss did with their new 777s—They gave them to their regional partner to operate, how bout that. They fly them to the US too.

Anyway... some cabin crew like to know there’s an ABP onboard in the event they need to be located to an emergency exit row seat.
