. It’s only 1 or 2 guys super senior I have seen putting their hand immediately after lift off. I don’t agree with it of course but it’s ok.. Unless it’s a line check I can let it go. My outfit is pretty chill tho and has nothing clearly written about this. We follow the FCOM/FCTM.
I would ask them why they are doing that. One acceptable reason would be to be ready to add power in the event of an engine failure, but in this case, controlling the aircraft flight path would be the PFs concern, then if more power is needed, direct the PM to to that.
Do you have autothrottles?
Smooth operator; 737 is different. No way would the thrust not be set by 50 kts at the most.
