Without putting too fine a point on it, our financial controller may not have a choice. Would making egress easier by reducing capacity, in the short-term at least as a measure to increase passenger confidence, too high a price to pay?
My experience of this industry, is that at the end of the day the customer, the bod at the end of the supply-chain who puts fuel in his car or central heating oil in his tank will pay whatever it costs to have convenience. All this talk of cost to the oilco is missing the point. It doesn't cost the oilco an extra bean that he cannot recover from the punter at the pump.
