Only captains that upgraded in the Dash 8 can be assigned to fly right seat. It's in the contract from what I remember.
Any captain can fly in the right seat legally; the contract does, however, prevent the company from requiring those who were never Dash 8 FOs from doing so.
We do do a right seat landing for captains annually now (only for about the last 2 years), to comply with Star Alliance requirements. Just because something is kosher per Star Alliance (or the FAA, or anyone else) doesn't mean that our contract has to allow it.
