Do the outboard engines not have thrust reverse and if they do what operational reason would there be not to use them ?
Airbus decided against outboard reversers (and as part of the weight saving programme, nearly decided against all reversers, but airlines balked at this omission) to prevent FOD - (Foreign Object Damage) as the outboard mills could be hanging above unimproved surfaces during landing on a not-so-A380-wide runway.
To anyone attending, what was the band playing when she landed ?
