Unfortunatly there is good reason for having RH only cockpits. If there
were LH and RH cockpits, pilots would end up being better at flying in
one cockpit than the other. In combat you cannot be sure about the loss
rates and would end up with LH experienced pilots in RH cockpits and
vice versa. A good way to get shot down.
