Yes. No.

I think we (I) have said before that the concept of reducing pax numbers hasn't taken into account the effect on overall safety of stretching resources to accommodate the increased number...

Certainly the arming floats bit. But I'm not so sure about the onshore destination sea state limit. After all, there is no sea state at a land destination. And which airports and runways are you...
