Aircraft Delivery Flights

[in-my-opinion]

I am intrigued by how new aircarft are delivered ie all the Airbus built in France/Germany sold to US and likewise all the Boeings from Seattle headed this way to Europe.

Do the manufacturers have 'team' of delvery pilots who transport aircraft - presunably via a circuitous route for non-ETOPS aircraft? Or would the purchasing airline send its own people to collect - but for example would an FR pilot be 'allowed' to operate an oceanic route?

Would be very interested to get a response from those who actually do the job.

Thanks
