5 seats, 4 NASA crew leaving one spare. If Boeing can sell that seat then it is great way to make some extra money.

I don't understand how that will work if CST-100 is flying once every 6-12 months.

I would expect that space to be taken up by NASA for extra cargo transport. Unless NanoRacks is able to finalize an agreement with the ISS partners for a NR employee slot on the station for managing their commercial airlock/payloads.
#IAC2017 @NanoRacks hints that they're in discussion with NASA for their own crew on the ISS

Response to a question on the impact of using ISS crew for commercial. Jeff stated that several organisations including his were in talk 1/2

With NASA about putting their own commercial crew on the station. Raises issues about real estate etc but he's a determined guy 2/2

ARTICLE: Boeing Starliner trio preparing for test flights -
https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2017/11/boeing-starliner-trio-test-flights/
Includes more cool L2 renders from Nathan Koga.
Was just thinking yesterday that there had been a surprising dearth of Starliner news recently. Excellent timing. Plus, new "updates" should be coming in the Commercial Crew update part of the NAC meeting on Nov. 29th.
