On some _really_ long over-water commercial flights, they carry a complete
relief cockpit crew.


I worked for Saudia, they carried a crew of five on their non-stop flights
to and from the US, which included one or more domestic legs in the US and
Arabia. I think the crewing was three pilots and two engineers. In many
cases, one of the engineers was a pilot, as well.
