Fair value or change in fair value, as applicable, of equity awards in the Compensation Actually Paid columns was determined by reference to (1) for time-based RSU awards, the closing price of a share of our Common Stock on the applicable
year-end
date(s) or, in the case of vesting dates, the closing price of a share of our Common Stock on the applicable vesting dates, and (2) for performance-based RSU awards, the same valuation methodology as time-based RSU awards except
year-end
values are multiplied by a factor reflecting achievement of the probable outcome of the applicable performance conditions as of the measurement date and, where applicable, using a Monte Carlo valuation method with respect to any relative TSR market condition. The Monte Carlo valuation method simulates a range of possible future stock prices for the Company and each of the peer group companies using certain inputs. Such inputs include the expected volatility of our stock price relative to the applicable peer group companies and a risk-free interest rate derived from the Treasury Constant Maturities yield curve as of each applicable measurement date.

•
  
Total stockholder return;

Adjusted
pre-tax

•
  
Total debt reduction.
In addition, through our STIP which was

•
  
Adjusted
pre-tax
income;
 
 
•
  
Mainline and regional
on-time
departures
 
 
•
  
Mainline and regional controllable completion factor; and
