Sorry mate but us Britts boys/gals certainly DO touch the speedbrake. There is a crosswind limit on S/O's but not F/O's. Although I more than happy to hand over in a 40knot crosswind. Im not too proud to admit.
All F/O's from ALL companies should be prepared to say STOP. How can you be sure the captain didnt becomae incapacitated at the start of the roll?
The BA selection isnt that hard. If you dont have flying examples use something from other aspects of your life. I personally turned BA down as us Britannia mob still have a final salary pension(even for new joiners), RAPID command due to expansion and ,oh yes, we get to touch the speedbrake.
