It must be a nice perk for the crew on the flight though, presumably they use the F cabin as their rest area if they can get away with it...
The plane may have a CRC (crew rest compartment) with proper beds/bunks. Where an aircraft doesn't have this and the duration requires a third pilot then a F seat is blocked for their use, so using F (For pilots) is fairly standard
