It's a fine point, but I don't believe you have to do ALL of recurrent in the right seat—contract aside. You merely, as a captain, have to be proficient in running things from the right seat (e.g. not climbing the sidewall while the other guy taxis).

CAL CA's can fly in the right seat without any training or recurrent training. They kinda get training because in initial upgrade training when your training partner is flying left seat, you are flying right seat. It is assumed you are qualified as an FO, if you are qualified as a CA.
I'm not saying it's safe, I'm saying it being done. That's CAL.

I'd say that:
-management is stupid for understaffing again.
-the pilots picking up time for 150% are scum.
-the rest of the pilots are stupid for allowing management and the other pilots for doing the above.

“So what are you doing this weekend?”
“Oh I don’t know; it’s my last day at work I guess I’ll be looking for another job, how about you?”
“I picked up this great Houston trip; let me show you the pairing…”

To maintain right seat qual, typically the only thing a Captain needs to do is a normal takeoff and landing as well as a V1 cut and single engine approach. This varies by whatever the FAA has granted for each airline but normally that is all that is required to maintain right seat qual. On a side note, I don't think its safe unless your an instructor or LCA that does a lot of right seat flying.
