Number one didn't go into reverse on landing.

Time to lease a Volga-Dnepr An-124 into YYR?

I'm sure the attorneys in first class are passing out business cards to the hoi polloi.
Engines 1 & 4 on the A380 don't have reverse thrust capability as they hang so far off the centreline there's a risk of throwing up foreign objects.
