Default International Rest Breaks

Trying to verify a rumor I heard about DL breaks with augmented crews. At FNW, for 3-pilot legs we break it up into thirds and the Captain gets middle break so he can be in seat for TO and Landing. On 2CA/2FO legs its usually split in half with one CA and one FO in seat for Takeoff and the other CA/FO in seat for landing. On long legs you can get almost a full nights sleep on your break. Friend of mine told me that at DL the same CA/FO are in seat for takeoff and landing on a double crewed leg and that your breaks are never half/half. Is that the DL procedure?
