(a) These amounts represent the current and noncurrent portion of the Company's cease-use liability recorded during third quarter 2017, as a result of the Company grounding its remaining leased Boeing 737-300 aircraft on September 29, 2017. The liability reflects the remaining net lease payments due and certain lease return requirements that may have to be performed on these leased aircraft prior to their return to the lessors as of the cease-use date, but does not include the write–off of approximately $15 million in net prepaid rents associated with the aircraft at the grounding date, which were included in the $63 million charge recorded. This loss related to the grounding of the Classic fleet was recorded to Other operating expenses in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income during third quarter 2017.
