We get to taxi on the 747 too. Our director of training/standards kept trying to take that away from us, but thankfully didn’t succeed.

We don't get that privilege. Yay us!
A couple of months ago, flying with a decent captain, he was straightening something out and asked me to taxi for a minute. I taxi with the rudder pedals, and a turn is coming up. I say, hey cappie, there's a turn coming. He says okay, continue. I looked at the IRP confused. I was seriously sweating for a while.
Then I remembered we had a tiller also. We all laughed about that one for a while.
My fidget spinner has a second purpose!

It’s not just a place to hang your headset when you go to get more coffee!
My philosophy on captains only stuff is that it’s all dumb. It seems kind of dumb to have your first time doing something like that be when you first upgrade and are sitting next to someone likely less experienced than you.

The hardest part about upgrading after FO over a decade: the seat controls. And taxiing/parking the plane. But seat controls. Grrrrr

I switch seats on a regular basis. I have only a 50% success rate in reaching for the correct side of the chair when going to adjust my seat.
