I "think" the originating flight crew does fly the flight all the way to the destination though.

I remember way back around the time of the Egypt Air crash some of the news reports were discussing how difficult it was to communicate with pilots who didn't understand the English flight communication "lingo".

The Crash of EgyptAir 990

"It was EgyptAir Flight 990, a giant twin-engine Boeing 767 on the way from New York to Cairo, with 217 people aboard."
