There is also no need to have two pilots in the cockpit during cruise, especially not if they are poorly trained cruise only pilots. My only concern is that the remaining pilot falls asleep due to boredom or needs to go to the bathroom.

Having less crew on long haul flights also means that each pilot will get more opportunities to take-off and land, which are the critical parts of the flight.
