I cannot see major airlines having a training captain sit in the LHS seat just so you can get 500 ICUS.
I think you will find if you have a P1 rating as most if not all FO’s for QF, J* and DJ have, you don’t have to have a checker next to you to log ICUS or P1US as it is called in most parts of the world. How do you think a QF cadet is able to move to the left seat when his command comes up? Contrary to popular belief there are no exemptions done for them. It is all in the reg’s and they are followed to the “T”.
