The fact that a switch is out of direct vision should mean nothing to a well trained crew. Critical items like this is not going to be operated without confirmation from both crewmembers, not that mistakes can't be made. Although I didn't know him except as a familiar face the copilot worked at the same airline as I did and confirmation of critical switch movement is ingrained from day one.Failure to do so could get you sent home for the day.
