Now we're talking about "seating capacity" ... I guess you can wiggle out of this by blocking some seats, thus reducing seating capacity, which is probably what happened here and is subject to interpretation in each EU country's legislation
Ah TAP in the questionable period where they "understaffed" the flights, yeah I am not sure how they wrangled that. But there was some kind of industrial action if I remember rightly, so they did probably file for an exemption for each flight.
