Two line captains as crew?

Having heared from friends, that an european airline will implement (or has already) normal passengers flight with two line captains.
The right seat Captain shall be a "pilot non flying" job only. Flights should be limited per assigned period.
The company emphazises, that this is a step ahead in operation.
In Germany a major carrier tried to do the same, at least with their checkpilots.
This was turned down (except of cause training flights) by the CC and the union. (Vereinigung Cockpit).

So, I am, never been in the right seat of my present type, still thinking about the acceptance of this in relation to CRM and Flight safety?
What is your opinion?
