They are relative to the altitiude of other fliers based on your own altitiude

For example, if it says -160, that person is 16,000ft below you. +160 is 16,000ft above you.

That number shows the other plane’s altitude based on your planes altitude. Example: +45 would mean that the plane is 4500 feet above you. -20 would indicate the plane is 2000 feet below your current altitude.

It means there’s a plane flying 24,500 ft above you in relation to your current altitude.
