I have actually had this conversation on several occasions. My first of these was with a 21 year old bush pilot in Namibia, operating a C206 under an AOC. I always insisted on sitting in the front right hand seat where, if necessary, I could reach the controls. Apart from anything else it made my wife more relaxed. When he forgot to put the parking brake on for his power checks and the aircraft lurched across the hold it was actually me that stamped on the foot brakes.
