AFAIK Crew Dragon Endeavour has been retrofitted with six seats and could (suboptimally?) evacuate the six astronauts on the ISS.
"Seats" is a bit generous. They'd be strapped to the cargo palettes behind the seats, without flight suits. Definitely sub-optimal.
On United, that's called "Premium Economy".
A few minutes of discomfort to save a life - seems OK to me.
I thought they found one flight suit. Can they not use it in the cargo area?
