Captain still sitting on the left?

[WinstonWolf]

I was watching something on TV last night and a trainee captain was transitioning from the right seat to the left, she was struggling a little in acclimatising to the left hand joystick.

I understand the reasons for the captain being on the left are historical, but with modern joystick controlled planes wouldn't it make sense for the captain to sit on the right?

It's not an issue with a centre stick but surely the typically dominant hand should be on the sidestick?
