Yes, you said that. If those two seats are removed that will leave six - two crash positions for the rearcrew and four for pax. That's two less than the contract appears to demand for a MRT.

Glossy brochures and websites naturally put the best possible spin on an aircraft's performance and characteristics. Reality often turns out to be considerably different. Simply regurgitating that website information does not put you 'in the know'. In fact, it gives the opposite impression. Likewise, quoting extreme examples of aircraft and crews exploring the envelope to get the job done in extremis is not a good way of winning an argument about day to day capability.


If you weren't suggesting that floor belts were being proposed, then you can only have meant that passengers should be routinely insecure in the back of the aircraft. Who in their right mind would advocate that? Only someone without a clue about helicopters.
