Aircraft return costs include the expenses to restore the Airbus A318 and Bombardier Q400 aircraft to the agreed upon return
condition per the contract, lease termination costs, and maintenance deposits that were forfeited. These costs are recorded in other operating
expenses. Severance and integration expenses are a result of the integration of certain back office functions, as well as system and vendor
consolidations and are recorded in other operating expenses. The impairment charges are due to the write-off of certain trade names and other
assets and are recorded in other impairment charges. The accrual balance for the costs listed above are recored in accrued liabilities in the
consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.
The Company expects to pay approximately $3.0 million during 2011 and 2012, as a result of severance and integration costs,
aircraft return costs, and a few other miscellaneous items.
