Rod - see me comment directly to Dan below.
FYI - We will probably book the income in December since the transaction was
consummated in a 24hour period in December. (I may need to bring a more
reality/pragmatic focus into our accounting theory personnel).
OK?

If the deal was closed out -which it was; I would think the accounting would
follow.

TW purchased a swap, exchanged a floating 2002 position for a fixed price.
It was purchased at current market so there is no profit until the 2002 strip
changes in value. Since this derivative has been designated as a hedge of
2002 all changes in market value are deferred in OCI (effective 1/1/01).

It represents a hedge of 2002 forecasted sales of TW over-retained
fuel/unaccounted for volumes. The swap will be initially recorded in January
2001 at then market value as a FAS 133 implementation adjustment (any value
at 1/1/2001 will go to income as an item of "change in accounting
principles"). Monthly fluctuations in the value of the swap will be marked
to market with the income effect deferred in Other Comprehensive Income until
the hedged item (the physical sale) occurs. The the deferred income will be
undeferred and brought to income to offset the income/loss from the hedged
transaction.

We sold short at $4.50?
That would mean we're already under water?
