Default Crew Augmentation to Europe

This question is directed towards the guys and gals at AA/DL/UA:

Do any of your flights between North America and Europe operate with 2-man crews? Or are they all augmented with a third pilot?

Delta, KEF is 2 man from JFK/MSP/DTW.

BOS-EDI, BOS-DUB I believe are also 2 man.

UAL has a few that are unaugmented. Some of them change seasonally too.

UA does EWR-PDL 2 man on the 737. I'm sure there are a few on the 756 fleet as well

usually 24 hours. The layover crew will take the plane that just came in that morning after it’s serviced. If it’s 5 days a week, say, then the layovers can be 48-72 hours. Those are extremely senior trips.
