I prefer not to do this though I have seen it done. One time a copilot in a turboprop plane did this and I watched with interest. I asked him why he did that?

He said, so he didn't have to touch the throttles.

And I asked him what was so hard about moving the throttles?

He said it was "COOL".

I said it was dumb and not to do it on my plane again.

I think the pilot who did this probably wasn't much of a pilot. But he was COOL. So, do you want to be COOL or a good pilot?

IF you want to be COOL, do what he did.

IF you want to be a good pilot, well, need I say more? wink wink, nod nod.
