I'm genuinely interested by this statement. I'm not Boeing bashing here but just want to compare SOPS. I seem to recall that on the 330/340 the PF would (on a visual or Non-ILS) call for FDs off and PNF would select BOTH off. I know the Autothrust systems are different but this technique would make sense anyway.
Happily the 380 has only one FD PB which sets both captain/FO FDs on or off at the same time.
Safe flying chaps..........
