Hamil,

That would be known as 'Crew task sharing.'
From what I understand, this was a 20hour duty through the night with 2 take offs and 2 landings.
If both Captains have the relevant qualifications for that 'area' then why would you not split the flying between the 2 of you. 1 take off and 1 landing each makes much more sense from a fatigue management point of view.
Unless of course you are a control freak who has to do everything yourself.........

Cheers,
