New hire DECs at GoJet can reasonably expect to fly up to 50% of their time in the right seat. On the plus side, all flying is paid at the captain pay scale and it's better than sitting reserve all day.
Actually I was just talking with a street captain last week. Said he was hired in Oct, only been online for a few months and had over 50hrs in the left seat for April and was over 30hrs left seat for May already..
And even if you sit right seat a bit, you're getting paid over $68/hr to do it...
