I started flying offshore back in 2008, and from the beginning was trained to fly from both seats and flew from both seats as a FO and later Captain on the S76, EC/H155, and AW139. Company procedure was that the PF for the flight was to be in the right seat.
well I guess you got luckier with your new hires then !! The S76 as you know, is a SPIFR certified machine. Many operators will trial their left guys before investing in their schooling.
