Captains sitting right seat is the only way Mesa has gotten through this summer and year.

Island Air in Hawaii does it for the line captains. It's for staffing since the company is having a tough time recruiting FOs and FOs that can pass training.

Atlas Air, which some pilots have compared to a regional, does this.

Sometimes there are 2, 3 or even 4 captains flying together. Or 2 capts/2 FOs, 3 Capts/1 FO. Usually it is just 1 Capt, the rest FOs. Everybody is right (and left) seat quald. The FOs can't sit in the Capt seat during TO/Landing. Unfortunately, the FOs don't get "Cruise Capt" pay when they are the PIC/Left seat during the flight.

As does/has just about any other operation that requires "heavy"/crew augmentation. Apples to bowling balls comparison

I talked a captain on reserve a few weeks back who said CS had him do a turn in the right seat the day prior.
