Captains flying right seat?
Just curious to see what is standard at other company's. Does you contract or company allow captains to fly in the right seat? If so is there a time limit on when the resource is unavailable to the company?
Can you specify the company name also.
Thanks

Yup. Our company allows captains to sit right seat however; there is only one pilot in command. The captain sitting right seat assumes the role of the First Officer (naturally) but overall the guy sitting in the left seat has the final authority.
A while back an Airline (not going to mention name) had pilots listed as captains but in order to be compensated as such they had to fly x-amount of hours as PIC. The airline would have these pilots fly within 5-10hrs shy of the x-amount hrs needed to get captain pay and have them sit right seat the rest of the month. This of course was before the union.

RAH allows this at the captain's payrate for whatever their doh is. I think its great, same pay with no responsibility but thats just me.

Does you company have any rules on management pilot flying with line pilots? From what i remember, Horizon didn't allow management pilot to fly revenue flight unless it was with a check airman.
Is this standard at other companies?
