Fuel Hedging ?

LCC is hedged 58% in the 3rd quarter '08, capped at $97. LCC is hedged at 47% in the 4th quarter '08, capped at $108. The total value of the hedges was estimated at $190 million, that of course, can swing both ways, a plus or a minus. That is why it is called speculation.

It looks like the 3rd quarter may work out, however, it is yet to be seen how the hedge prices will perform in the 4th quarter.

If there would be a merger with UA in the very near future with US would that subsequently mean the hedging with UA would merge legally?

Generally, yes. When you merge, the new entity retains all of the assets and all of the liabilities of the merging entities. Valuable contracts or debts that used to belong to US would belong to the new entity and likewise with valuable contracts of debts of UA. After a merger, just substitute the surviving company's name for the old name on the contract.
