This avoids contacting the first officer’s hand while he/she is operating the throttles. But it also puts the captain’s wrist in close proximity to the go around switches. I can see this happening.
The FO didn’t call for flaps 5 though. What would the captain’s (or anyone else’s) hand be doing there?
