It’s interesting that they either remove chairs or modify the chair spacing so that during the off season, the upper 1/3 of the line is empty. Probably due to wind, but I would be interested to see how this is achieved!
Maybe, but they do this every year and on both of their HSQs. Could be for NDT but I couldn’t find where the rest of the chairs were. I have pictures from last summer of the same thing. The chairs looked like they were more dense than during operations, but I couldn’t read the numbers on them to confirm. Maybe one of the pictures has all the chairs so I can count them
Oh yeah, you are right. In the third picture, you can see chair 27 and chair 50, just before the missing chairs. So they just remove them from the line during the summer. Simple!

It’s possible that when these photos were taken, those upper chairs were off the line for NDT/maintenance
