Both PF and PNF are trained/experienced and authorised to call Stop in BA on rejected takeoff, so no difference whoever is flying in this case.
Thank you.
I have heard that the relief pilot checked the cabin situation and then informed the operating flight crew of the need to evacuate?
--EDIT--
I also found it rather interesting that some media outlets were reporting originally that Peter Burkill was the captain of that flight...
