On the same subject one thing that annoys me is after V1, VR, a few guys will set their hand literally 1 or 2 seconds after I remove mine! The main gears are still on the ground.. Lol. I don’t see the point and it’s dangerous IMHO. I reckon hands on the levers should not be before at least 400 feet. I personally wait approaching thrust reduction altitude.
Are you a Captain or right seater now? I assume right seat if the other pilot is taking liberties you don’t approve of. I also assume you mean “set their hand” on the thrust levers?
Either way, on the ground hands should be off the thrust levers after V1. There is a very good reason for this.
If your company condones this and doesn’t have procedures to prevent it, is there a way to address that?
