They can only go in for training and check flights.
In Canada with a VFR medium you will take the ground crew out in the morning flying from the right seat (CARs 703/4), then put on your longline, hop over the pedestal and fly (CARs 702) from the left seat until crew pickup time, then reverse.
Some companies have an STC for CARs 703 (commercial passenger carrying) from the left seat. On any medium I have flown you cannot remove the right seat controls.
