Problems in the air !


Although British Airways asked their employees this summer to work one month for free, to work part-time or to resign freely. The revenues of British Airways still stay down, therefore they have to reduce their costs by dismissing 1,700 employees and introducing a two-year pay freeze for their crew. But the passenger numbers were falling so sharply, that these measurements weren’t good enough to bounce back. The International Air Transport Association (Iata) forecast the losses of the whole industry to € 7,5 billion.

S1: faulty construction with 'although'
S2: crewS
S3: no comma between sharply and that these...
S4: forecast at €7.5bn

unclear start hampers the read. S4 could do with 'the whole industry' as a subject to increase flow
