What's Inside

Fiscal years end Dec 31 (SEC CIK 100517). FY2021–FY2025 come from each year's audited Form 10-K; FY2026Q3 comes from the unaudited Q3 earnings release (Form 8-K Exhibit 99.1), which prints only total stockholders' equity, so that quarter carries the balance on Equity:UndisaggregatedParent. Advance ticket sales and MileagePlus frequent-flyer deferred revenue sit on Liabilities:Current:DeferredRevenue; flight equipment dominates Assets:NonCurrent:PropertyPlantEquipment.

Quick Start

bash
uvx --from beancount bean-check main.bean
uvx --from beanquery bean-query main.bean \
  "SELECT year, sum(position) WHERE account ~ '^Income:Revenue' GROUP BY year ORDER BY year"

Zero output from bean-check means the ledger is internally consistent: every
income statement sums to zero and every balance-sheet snapshot reconciles to
the filed totals. The query prints revenue by calendar year; income is a
credit, so it shows as a negative number. Open main.bean in Fava
or import it into beancount.io to explore it visually.

Methodology

  • Balance sheet — pad / balance directives assert each period-end
    figure against the filing named in that period file's source banner.
  • Income statement — one zero-sum transaction per period: Income
    negative (credit), Expenses positive (debit), with the arithmetic check in
    a comment directly above it.
  • Unit — MUSD; 17,875 MUSD means 17,875 million US dollars.
  • Additional accounts — Assets:NonCurrent:OperatingLeaseRightOfUse,
    Liabilities:Current:OperatingLeases,
    Liabilities:NonCurrent:OperatingLeases, Equity:TreasuryStock,
    Equity:UndisaggregatedParent, opened beyond the standard chart (see each
    account's open line in main.bean).
