Good morning everybody and thanks for joining us today for our fourth quarter and full year 2008 earnings call. With us in the room today is Doug Parker, our Chairman and CEO, Scott Kirby, our President, Robert Isom, our Chief Operating Officer, Derek Kerr, our Chief Financial Officer, C.A Howlett, our Senior Vice president of public affairs, and [Kara Gin], our Vice President of Finance.
As we usually do we’re going to start with Doug. He’ll provide general comments on our fourth quarter financial results and provide an industry overview. Derek will then take us through detail on the quarter including our cost structure and liquidity. Scott will then follow with commentary on the revenue, environment and our operational performance during the quarter, and then after we hear from those comment we’ll open the call for analyst questions and lastly questions from the media.
But before we begin, we must state that today’s call does contain forward-looking statements including statement concerning future fuel prices and our future financial performance. These statements represent our predictions and expectations as to future events, but numerous risk and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.
Information about some of these risk and uncertainties can be found in our earnings press release issued this morning, our last Form 10-Q for the quarter into September 30, 2008 and other SEC filings on the company.
