Thanks for all the info. The reason for the question is that I was brought up with the pilot flying handling the throttles, and in case of, does the complete reject after the captain has ordered this. Since there is a trend that we have to go back to industry standards (in my case Boeing 747 classic) I looked at the factory manuals. They say the PF should advance the throttles, the FE or autothrottle set take off thrust and from 80 kts onward the captain has his hands on the throttles, the way Checkboard describes. I’m glad to hear Boeing isn’t happy about this procedure as well, too many hands going around in a critical phase of flight.
