Economic forecast entailing sales and inflation for airline industry

Most airlines are poorly run, and with the increase in oil.  this will sound the death knell for them.  I would keep away from all airline stocks except for maybe jetblue

The first uses financial and economic analysis to try and predict the movement of prices.  This could be the general economic data, earnings reports, industry reports, and so on.\n\nThe second uses the time series data of the price and volume and similar things.  It's like staring at the chart of prices and predicting what will happen in the future.  The assumption is that there are patterns in the data.

My suggested changes are in CAPS. I also deleted a bunch of stuff.\n-Athenart\n---\nLeeJay’s airlines will be the preferred airline (OF WHOM?) throughout the world. THE GOAL OF LeeJay’s airlines is to PROVIDE OUR GUESTS/CLIENTS/CUSTOMERS hospitality and PERSONAL consideration WHILE offering the best quality service for a reasonable price. \n\nWE STRIVE to make our customers feel welcome and at home, AND we are committed to ongoing professional development TO REACH THAT GOAL.

Hi - I work for Palo Alto Software, makers of Business Plan Pro, and I would be happy to help you.\n\nThe best way to approach the financials is to take it step by step. I would start with the Sales Forecast and begin by forecasting your expected sales for your first 12 months. If you choose to use the "units-based" sales forecast, you are going to forecast the number of items you plan to sell each month and then give each item a price that you expect to sell it for. This is the "unit price." Business Plan Pro will automatically multiply the number of units you plan to sell by the price to determine your total sales.\n\nThe next step is to determine your "cost of goods." This is essentially what it costs you to produce the item that you are selling.\n\nTo simplify the entire sales forecast, you can choose to do a "values based" forecast. This gets rid of all the discussion around "units" and allows you to simply enter in the total dollar amount of your expected sales each month.\n\nAfter you have completed your sales forecast, you should move on to the Profit and Loss. The P&L is simply a list of your monthly expenses. Add additional rows to list additional expenses or delete rows that aren't relevant to your business.\n\nOnce you have completed your Sales Forecast and your P&L, you will find that you are well on the way to a complete business plan. Business Plan Pro will automatically complete your Cash Flow and Balance sheet based on your data.\n\nThere's obviously much more to business plan financials than I can explain here, but I think you will find that there is a wealth of information available to help you right in the software. Let me summarize your help options:\n\n1. The Table Wizards can guide you step by step through each financial table. You can access the wizards by clicking on the "table wizard" link in the instructions area for any table.\n\n2. The help files that you can access from the Help menu in the software have detailed explanations of each table as well as a complete financial glossary to help explain financial terms. Use the search feature in Help to find exactly what you are looking for.\n\n3. "row by row" help is available for every single row in every table. Just click on a row and a description of that row will be displayed at the bottom of the table.\n\n4. Finally, we offer free monthly webinars to help you with the software. You can find a schedule of those webinars here:\nhttp://www.paloalto.com/training/\n\nGood luck with your plan and please let me know if you have any specific questions that you would like help with.

my mother was going to visit from az to il and travel by plane. the higher cost of fuel increased the cost of her ticket. she couldnt afford the ticket so cancelled her trip.the airliner lost her business and made no profit. multiply that enough times and theres a hefty loss to the company, business suffers.if we travel by car to her, the only value for us to drive to her instead is we'll have our own car to mosey around town. shes a spunky 78 years old and prefers to travel here than us to travel there. i'm pretty sure the gas spent to get there and back would about equal a ticket.

It depends on the location of the position.  You can try www.salary.com or www.payscale.com or the Occupational Outlook Handbook (just put those words in a search engine and you'll be directed).  If memory serves, the URL for OOH is www.bls.gov (bureau of labor statistics)...this site gives not only salary data but also training involved, nature of work, related professions, etc.  Another route...try www.monster.com and look for commercial pilot position anywhere (don't limit geographically) and see if any salaries are listed to get a feel for the market.

I have no answer to this question, but my suggestion would be to use google.com and to try the advanced search with only .pdf files. Try to put some finding keys like "Ryanair finances", "Ryanair report" etc.\n\nI am writting a final project about the low cost airlines, and I`ve got a lot of useful information from .pdf files, more figures and statistical info. Good luck!

This type of report is not one that is automatically generated by most accounting software, nor is it one that is normally produced by your accountant, but it is an important analysis for you to have and understand. For any new business, you should predict what gross sales volume level you will have to achieve before you reach the break-even point and then, of course, build to make a profit. For early-stage businesses, you should be able to assess your early prediction and determine how accurate they were, and monitor whether you are actually on track to make the profits you need. Even the mature business would be wise to look at their current break-even point and perhaps find ways to lower that benchmark to increase profits. The recent massive layoffs at large corporations are directed at this goal, lowering the break-even point and increasing profits. \n\n\n*Break-Even Is the Volume Where All Fixed Expenses Are Covered*\n\nYou will start a break-even analysis by establishing all the fixed (overhead) expenses of your business. Since most of these are done on a monthly basis, don’t forget to include the estimated monthly amount of line items that are normally paid on a quarterly or annual basis such as payroll taxes or insurance. For example, if your annual insurance charge is $9,000, use 1/12 of that, or $750 as part of your monthly budget. With the semivariable expense (such as phone charges, travel, and marketing), use that portion that you expect to spend each and every month. \n\nFor the purpose of a model break-even, let’s assume that the fixed expenses look as follows: \n\nAdministrative salaries     $1,500\nRent     800\nUtilities     300\nInsurance    150\nTaxes     210\nTelephone     240\nAuto expense     400\nSupplies     100\nSales and marketing     300\nInterest     100\nMiscellaneous     400\nTotal     $4,500\n\nThese are the expenses that must be covered by your gross profit. Assuming that the gross profit margin is 30 percent, what volume must you have to cover this expense? The answer in this case is 15,000—30 percent of that amount is $4,500, which is your target number. \n\nThe two critical numbers in these calculations are the total of the fixed expense and the percentage of gross profit margin. If your fixed expense is $10,000 and your gross profit margin is 25 percent, your break-even volume must be $40,000. \n\n\n*This Is Not a Static Number*\n\nYou may do a break-even analysis before you even begin your business and determine that your gross margin will come in at a certain percentage and your fixed expense budget will be set at a certain level. You will then be able to establish that your business will break even (and then go on to a profit) at a certain level of sales volume. But your prestart projections and your operating realities may be very different. After three to six months in business, you should compare projections to the real-world results and reassess, if necessary, what volume is required to reach break-even levels. \n\nAlong the way, expenses tend to creep up in both the direct and indirect categories, and you may fall below the break-even volume because you think it is lower than it has become. Take your profit and loss statement every six months or so and refigure your break-even target number.\n\n\n*Ways to Lower Break-Even*\n\nThere are three ways to lower your break-even volume, only two of them involve cost controls (which should always be your goal on an ongoing basis). \n\n1. Lower direct costs, which will raise the gross margin. Be more diligent about purchasing material, controlling inventory, or increasing the productivity of your labor by more cost effective scheduling or adding more efficient technology. \n\n2. Exercise cost controls on your fixed expense, and lower the necessary total dollars. Be careful when cutting expenses that you do so with an overall plan in mind. You can cut too deeply as well as too little and cause distress among workers, or you may pull back

Any projection, even in a known market, involves assumptions.  In your case you will have to make a few more, but that is OK.  The key is that you clearly state what your assumptions are.  Then as you gain knowledge of your market and your customers, you can replace assumptions with data, or at least educated assumptions.  \n\nI would suggest starting with some identification of what you consider your market.  Quantify the market (how many companies, how much do they spend on similar products or services, etc.) This type of information should be pretty available unless your product is very obscure or new.  Then, once you know the size of the market, identify and quantify your competition.  How much are they selling to your customers?  How much do you expect their market share to change?  Calculate some measure of market strength or expansion.\n\nSubtract your competition from the market capacity and that is your potential capacity.  I hope this helps!
