All professional pilots do that. It's so if the takeoff needs to be aborted, that both pilots agree with the decision.

All professional pilots do that. It's so if the takeoff needs to be aborted, that both pilots agree with the decision. no, it isn't actually, it's so that the handling pilot is in the loop with throttle position and the non-handling assures that thrust is correctly set. Non handling or second in command (depending on the operational procedures )will remove his hand when the thrust is set.
