Is it possible for an airliner to cruise at engine full thrust?

What would happen if the pilot of a modern airliner like the boeing 747-800 or Airbus A380 left the throttle at full thrust at cruise altitude for an extended period of time e.g 4 hours if the aircraft had enough fuel to reach the next destination?
