Doesn't change anything now but, subject to seniorty, could you go from a SH CA to a LH CA? Or is it more common to sit as a LH FO for a couple of years beforehand to get a feel for it all?
I'd say it would be uncommon for a pilot to take a downgrade to do that as you would have to do another command course if I understand correctly.
Most will go SH CA to LH CA or alternatively sit as LH FO for a long time then go LH FO to LH CA.
