I don't know whether to laugh or cry. There's a world of difference between the usefulness of a passenger's ability to quote from glossy brochures or obscure contract documents and an operator's practical realisation that what has been advertised may not actually work.
Read back just a page or two and you'll see a quiet acknowledgement that the number of seats quoted for the SAR variant may well be reduced. Whether it's by two or four (from the quoted six), it's still below what is described as a standard load. It will simply not be possible to operate this aircraft effectively in the SAR role if almost all the kit (medical and otherwise) required to do the job is stuck in a closet behind two seats that may or may not be occupied. Those seats have to go. Having power in hand will make bugger all difference if you can't seat the personnel to be carried.
Suggesting that passengers may be permitted to be carried insecure and not seated in hostile flying environments is one of the barmiest ideas I've heard yet. If you're suggesting they will be secured on the floor using floor belts then that's a lot of holes in the wet fit floor required to access the floor points where those belts would be attached.
