Derivatives held at fair value on the balance sheet


Question 1: Are all derivatives held at fair value on the balance sheet or are there some exceptions?

Question 2: Following is the link to an article from 2007 related to the use of derivatives by Southwest Airlines at a time when fuel prices were rising significantly. This article discusses how these derivatives's value to their income fell as fuel prices starting coming back down.
