Why would anything FAA related be relative to a Portuguese airline flying between Portugal and Canada?

Well, what
you think isn't really particularly relevant. This is actually a pretty common occurrence outside North America. I've personally been invited into the cockpit multiple times in-flight on various airlines and even for the entire flight including takeoff and landing one time.
Fortunately, the world does not revolve around the FAA.
