Thanks for the responses! Its been interesting to hear your views and individual ways that your airlines operate.
I would be interested to hear the views of those FOs who work for airlines that do not allow them to touch the throttles during the takeoff (Captain has completely use and control of the throttles during takeoff in both PF and PNF roles) i.e FOs don't even get to set the power. Such as Singapore airlines fleet on the B777.
Does it bother you at all?
AkA.
