I am not entirely sure but in part 121 you have to be actually seat qualled and a captain can not sit right seat with out a right seat qualification and vice versa. Ill dig up the regs on those when I get a chance.
I'd be interested. I don't believe there is a FAR that says where to sit, but (1) OpSpecs may have something to say on the subject and (2) I understand there are certain aircraft that have limitations (based I think on seat-dependent tasks) that require the PIC and SIC to sit in certain positions.
