What I think he said was: a full crew (#1) handled the plane during
landing/take-off while the other rested, then Crew #2 that was resting
handled the duties during the middle part of the flight. I think a
crew consists of 3 to 5 or more members depending on the plane.

So are you saying that in essence, the sleeping pilot is nothing to worry

Sydney to LA on the a380 qantas run two complete flight crews. One handles
takeoff and landing. The other handles the middle bit. Crew 1 sleeps in the
middle.
For takeoff and landing there is always an extra officer on the flight deck
whose job is only to watch the other three and pick up any errors or
irregularities. A friend is a pilot with them.

I don't see how airline pilots stay awake on long flights with the
autopilots flying the plane. Do they take turns napping? Read books? Play
games? Seems like a boring job most of the time.
