Although I fly for a private company - we operate to JAR-Ops regulations - which allow, for certain situations and with suitably equipped/modified aircraft such a practice.
It's always a balanced decision.
Do you disembark passengers (regular chopper-company personnel) standing on the apron in hissing rain - getting nicely wet so they will mist-up the cabin/cockpit - at a location where shelter is across a busy ramp or miles away or do you keep them on board where situation is easier to retain control?
It's better to have them onboard so you can all have a smoke together and talk about whose mobile is best..................
imho - sad point-scoring attempt!

popped into Cumbernauld for fuel yesterday.
Pleasant enough - but the horror story follows though
Fuel 63ppl inc vat
Landing fee (this is only for a refuel remember)
£58.70 inc vat
whilst personnel were friendly - prices weren't
may need to advise Pooley's that landing fees have changed!
