This may sound like a strange question, but it just crossed my mind:
On Boeing aircrafts, on passing V1, the PF moves his right (or left for that matter) hand from the throttle to the yoke.
What does Airbus NG pilots do? Do they move it to, say the armrest, rest it on the top of the EFIS Control/FCU panel or a whole different place? Or does it differ from time to time? I guess it's different from person to person, but I'd like to hear your take on it.

I have a fiew videos with Airbus takeoffs. Usually the PF takes his hand off the throttle and puts it on the armrest.

I used to jumpseat a lot on A340's and ocassionally A320/1's and many of the pilots I saw would literally "sit" on their hand, i.e. put it under their leg after V1.
And like the others have said some of them would just grab a hold of the armrest.
