I’ve flown this very aircraft from both seats at flybe, it was SOP for the Captain to guard the thrust levers up to V1 so in the event of an RTO it’s the Captain who rejects and takes control (incap aside), as an FO I’d select F5 whilst we were stopping so by the time you stop it should already be set. If I remember correctly (God it’s only been 6 months) the flaps are not part of the Embraer QHR vital actions so although they should of been set it’s quite easy to forget hence the confirmation rather than select. The other reason I believe is if you evacuate after landing then more often than not you’ve already got F5 set so I believe it’s confirm rather than select to prevent the automatic mind set that you have to move the flaps before evacuating.
