Not sure that would be a good idea.

Everything is in the 'wrong' place when you shift seats (and have not done so before). Every switch, knob and gauge becomes difficult to locate and your other hand may not be as 'skilled' in flying. Why would you want to compress a 2-month command training program into 10 minutes? Much easier to stay in the seat you are used to.
I agree completely. And, in an airplane with only one tiller the F/O would be well advised to remain in the right seat, then moved to the left seat when stopped on the runway, then taxi in.
