(1) Restructuring and merger-related items include $333 million in one-time merger-related charges, as discussed below related to Northwest for the period
from October 30 to December 31, 2008.
Northwest Operations. As a result of the Merger, our results of operations under GAAP for 2008 include Northwest's operations for the period from
October 30 to December 31, 2008, which increased operating expense by $2.1 billion in 2008 compared to the 2007 Predecessor plus Successor results. The
addition of Northwest for that period increased capacity 10% for the full year.
Restructuring and merger-related items. Restructuring and merger-related items totaled a $1.1 billion charge, primarily consisting of the following:
Merger-related charges. $978 million in one-time primarily non-cash charges relating to the issuance or vesting of employee equity awards in
connection with the Merger.
Severance and related costs. $114 million in restructuring and related charges in connection with two voluntary workforce reduction programs for
U.S. non-pilot employees announced in March 2008 in which approximately 4,200 employees elected to participate.
Facilities and other. $25 million in facilities charges primarily related to accruals for future lease obligations for previously announced plans to close
operations in Concourse C at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (the "Cincinnati Airport").
