For US carriers, alternating legs between PF (pilot flying) and PM (pilot monitoring) is standard practice as dictated by the carrier's own Flight Operations division (aka, "The Flying Department"). In the event of an emergency it'd be expected (if not mandatory) that the PIC (pilot in charge, e.g. captain) to immediately become the PF. The standard call-out for the role swap is "MY CONTROLS" or "MY AIRCRAFT" Case in point: US1549, the Hudson ditching, was being flown by the F/O. After the bird strike and loss of engines, Capt Sully called "My aircraft"; the F/O replied "Your aircraft", effecting the swap of roles. (me: US aircraft dispatcher in a previous life xD )
