Yes ... The best/only way. It will cost them to remove the seats but not that much. If BK judge wipes out scope it will cost them again to reinstall the seats.
Its been 15 or 20 years ago ... I remember flying on an American or maybe Delta 50 seat RJ into DFW that only had 42 seats installed with a really nice seat pitch and had a large bin mounted forward for carry on bags. Not a bad experience for the 42 passengers except the seat cushions were only good for an hour on the 2+30 flight.
