On my jet, both the Captain and the Flt Eng have their hands on the power levers, but the Flt eng has his own set on his panel! He also has the only EPR guages, the pilots only have N1 guages (the main power reference on the jet). Either pilot or the eng can call the RTO, and either the captain or the eng closes the power levers. The FO never touches the power levers, even when PF, as the eng sets power on the PFs command.
Odd, but it works well.
