In other words, once connected, the microphone has to be situated on your left hand side no matter what. Is that correct?
This is correct. The UFM comes with a clip. I've used it as both a captain and an FO. In both cases, I just clip the cord to my left epaulet. It's got plenty of slack, and once it's clipped, you won't notice it.
Most captain's don't use the clip, but I can't speak for FOs.
