Thread Clarity

Hey guys,

Iv had to re-post this because it ended up on the bottom of the previous page and thus not been read... I really do appreciate all the posts very interesting indeed thanks BUT...

Just to make it clear guys, the thread is not about the decision to RTO. Seems its getting sidetracked to people posting why the captain should have his/her hands on the throttles over the FOs. It is soley to do with FOs/Capts views on certain airline SOPs which require the captain to set takeoff power.

Whether the captain has the final hand on the throttles after the power is set is not the point here... I completely understand why that is done, and agree to it, especially on widebody aircraft. Instead this particular thread is targeted at personal views on the matter only captains setting takeoff power in both PNF and PF roles.

Does it bother FOs who work in such SOP environments?

Thank You very much.

AkA.
