We should abandon the left seat right seat rubbish.
This capt first second officer rubbish is from Juan Trippe and his flying boat days with PAN AM wanting it to be like a cruise liner and this isn't the military.
Simple you're a pilot the senior more experienced one sits in the left and is designated commander I guess using the above examples there would be a senior doctor in a group surgery and a senior lawyer in large case. Obviously you would still need to reach a minimum standard before being checked out in the left seat. And once again make jumping from airline to airline a no brainer.
