Where do A3's 321s come from?
This is just out of curiosity, as yesterday on my ATH-LHR flight, when using the toilet, they had a sign which read, (something along the lines of) 'Federal law provides a penalty of up to $2000 for tampering with the lavatory smoke detector.'
Are their planes coming from a US carrier or something? (Not that it matters, just curious and found it kind of funny that they would be flying planes with signs which don't seem to apply.)

Here is a good website to check out the age / previous owner etc of any airline you want (selected Aegean Airlines already):
http://www.airframes.org/fleet/aee
If you select a plane, you can click on "prev. reg" to see where it comes from...
According to flightradar, your plane was either SX-DVZ or SX-DGQ.

They have 8 and none of them has been operated by a US company (most are new, others has been used by UK, Irish and indian airlines).
Maybe this could be explained because they lease the planes to aircap and are one plane in their fleet has been operated directly by Awas (who maybe did short leased to US airlines) and the american General electric leasing. Those planes can have been prepared for the US market regarding signage for various reasons.
