Interesting question this one.
I've never got it to tell you the truth...you never seem to get right handed pilots asking this question.
As far as flying goes I don't understand why it's a factor. We have to be able to fly equally well with both hands, dependent upon which seat you sit in.
You spend all your training sitting in the left seat flying with your left hand and your right on the throttles. Your first job is then the other way round, flying with the right with the left on the throttles.
I found it funny at the initial class one on the old EEG when the nurse could tell whether or not you were right or left handed just from the test. For the record i'm predominently right handed but play golf and cricket left handed. I play tennis right handed though.
Who knows why?!
As Lee Evens once said,
I'm ambidexterous. I can do f**k all with both hands!
