Derivative Credit Risk and Fair Value
The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to its derivative instruments. While the Company records derivative
instruments on a gross basis, the Company monitors its net derivative position with each counterparty to monitor credit risk. Based on the fair value of our
fuel derivative instruments, our counterparties may require us to post collateral when the price of the underlying commodity decreases, and we may require our
counterparties to provide us with collateral when the price of the underlying commodity increases. The following table presents information related to the
Company’s derivative credit risk as of December 31, (in millions):
