Our SOPs specify that only the Captain's hand is on the throttles (power levers) after 80 knots; and that his/her hand must come off no later than at Vee One.
Super Ranger: The location of the "Speed Brake Lever" may be inconsequential, as the speedbrakes may deploy automatically when reverse thrust is applied (...when flaps are set in T/O position while airplane is in "ground logic" mode, etc...).
