The author described the realistic forecasting process used at TWA which "...includes a large does of judgment and number massaging to any econometric output before a forecast is formalized." He indicated that the TWA process begins with cost factors, traffic mix, and yield and results in estimates of TWA market share and forecasts of passenger miles and revenue, which are used directly at the corporate level for financial planning as well as for staffing decisions and sales goals.
