Re: What is a "relay box".
For what it’s worth there’s plenty of cockpit switches in King Airs/1900s with 10-15 (in some older SNs - 20!) amps @28VDC going through them. The switches are the CBs! Considering lots of GA planes ripping around with only 60 amp alternators… For what it’s worth - I usually associate relays with "c...

Service fee has always been $0. Always had to pay taxes and fees.
There was some pseudo-lawsuit decade ago about the whole taxes and fees thing. Basically courts said pound sand.

Re: The Return to Normal?
The seats have been removed from inventory. All the fleet type's capacities have been adjusted.
So if it shows 5 open, then there's 5 open.
The empty middle seats and stuff you can not list on. I believe there may be an exemption Reservations can do to have families to sit together.

Do both seats go even if single occupant? I thought they were travelling with their crew-chiefs as they usually do between air shows.

Re: Potential Strike Topic?
You can't have a strike vote without some semblance of an agreement being presented to the pilots and voted on (ie: rejected).
To do so would be considered "bad faith" in the eye of the CIRB and is negotiating suicide in any future arbitration.

That particular 787 is part of the 'teens' - early line numbers and have a host of structural differences and weight issues compared to your normal 787. Not to mention some wacky systems differences and such. Many of these early builds were not accepted by airlines and Boeing unloaded these at fires...
