Perhaps that airline didn't allow the F/O to do anything! I well remember one of my first commercial flights as a second officer (but in the RHS) and being told "sit there, don't touch anything & speak only when you are spoken to"!! Fortunately things improved as CRM became a reality & the crusty old flying boat Captains retired......
Just to be clear, the F/O could call stop/stop stop stop/reject in all but the last two cases. The F/O, if PF, would remain in control for all except the last case.
