The Bidding System has been locked for Bid Aw

I'm trying to get into PBS Navtech to get the desktop app and haven't been able to log on since last night.

What Bid Awards are being processed besides the PCS runs?

I can't help it. This precipitous drop in the price of kerosene has got me very nervous. We've seen this movie before at Delta Air Lines.

Someone please tell me we are not sitting on a huge pile of high-priced fuel hedges.

We've had to write off hundreds of millions in years past when this happened.

There are lots of spare parts. You just have to be willing to climb the pole upon which it is mounted at the entrance to a base.

The 3Q loss was 284 million on hedges. The hedging loss will however normally be offset by the reduction in actual prices. You just won't see any gains on the portion of our hedged fuel.
SWA is 40% hedged for 15,16 and 17. Depending on the price of the contracts that can hurt. Can't find our future hedging.

Is there a price point where it just makes sense for the company to lock in prices even if it may go further down?

For example, top rival Delta Air Lines reported $347 million in "mark-to-market" losses last quarter due to the declining value of its fuel hedges. Oil prices have continued to fall since the end of Q3, setting Delta up for additional hedging losses in Q4.
