(a) As of December 31, 2022, included customer reimbursement expenses due to the Company's December 2022 operational disruption and refund submissions that had yet to be processed. As of September 30, 2023, amounts primarily consist of normal current activity.
(b) Primarily consists of anticipated contract labor ratification bonuses and/or accruals. Also includes non-contract incentive pay. Included in Salaries, wages and benefits expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, is incremental expense of $96 million and $180 million, respectively, for changes in estimate related to the contract ratification bonus for the Company’s Flight Attendants as part of the tentative agreement reached in October 2023 with the Transport Workers Union 556 ("TWU 556"). The cumulative $180 million is included in the balance as of September 30, 2023. The Company began accruing for all of its open labor contracts on April 1, 2022, and this incremental $180 million expense extends the timeframe covered by the ratification bonus to the date the Flight Attendant contract became amendable on November 1, 2018, to compensate for missed wage increases over that time period.
