Reivilo asks...
Why would you not allow the F/O to have his feet resting gently on the rudder peddles during taxi? I don't see a big problem in that, other than that it might hurt the ego of the boss in the left seat?
Nothing to do with EGO Reivilo... it's all about proper cockpit etiquette

1. It's not SOP;
2. It's not in the Boeing FCTM;
3. It resting of feet on the peddles can be construed as falsely required inputs, if the P1 is unaware of the P2s dogs on the peddles.
4. Notwithstanding above, it's about as annoying when the Microsoft Pilot commences the taxi in procedure with hands waiving aimlessly about the cockpit whilst barreling down the runway at 60 knots.
