Learner, good on them but if you don't remove the redundant seats, it improves neither comfort nor safety. Your post though illustrates my point, you say "some oil companies", surely you don't mean those evil ones who know nothing about aviation and who don't care about safety?
Comparator, of course your interface is with the budget controller, that's because you Sky Gods won't engage with the workforce, not even at a union to union level to improve safety. If you can't understand the relationship between innovation and commercial reward, I can't help you. Anyway, as usual, it's the oil industry's own aviation advisors who will drive safety outcomes.
