Ineffective portions of derivative instruments designated in accordance with accounting standards as cash flow hedge relationships were insignificant
during the year ended December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had fuel swap contracts to pay fixed prices for fuel with an aggregate
notional amount of $66.1 million, maturing through 2012. Under the terms of its fuel swap contracts, the Company is required to post collateral in the event
that the fair value of the contracts exceeds a certain agreed upon liability level and in other circumstances required by the counterparty. As of December 31,
2010, the Company had posted $1.5 million in letters of credit as collateral under its fuel hedging program, none of which were posted under the Company's
Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had interest rate swap contracts to pay fixed rates for interest on long-term debt with an
aggregate notional amount of $1.430 billion, maturing through 2013.
The effective portion of the gain or loss on derivative instruments designated and qualifying as cash flow hedging instruments is recorded in other
comprehensive income. These amounts are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted debt interest settlement
or the fuel settlement affects earnings. The amount expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months includes unrealized gains and losses
related to open fuel hedges and interest rate swaps. Specifically, as the underlying forecasted transactions occur during the next 12 months, the hedging gains
and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized in earnings is a loss of $17.6 million, net of tax, at December 31, 2010. The
amounts that are ultimately reclassified into earnings will be based on actual interest rates and fuel prices at the time the positions are settled and may differ
materially from the amount noted above.
