How could an FO not have practiced this? It simply isn't possible to practice incap procedure if the FO can't stop the a/c!!!
some facts re Glasgow (I was on the EZY two behind the KLM, so we got a fairly comprehensive explanation from our captain):
the KLM was brought to a stop on the taxiway right in front of the fire station. If you can't get rapid assistance there, I don't know where you can given that turning round on the taxiway was not an option. Job well done, I'd have thought.
Following aircraft were eventually routed to the SW end of runway then backtracked for takeoff from RW23.
