Now that I am thinking about it, can you taxi the A380 from both sides? I wonder if the right seater was "steering."
I've been on the jumpseat of a couple of 747-200's and -400's and seem to remember that both guys could steer if need be (e.g. sharp right turn, the FO has a tiller). Anyone? Freight dogs?
