BBC NEWS
This link contains the same info now as the original link by rustbucket, as the BBC updated the page after the press announcement. Just says 7000 will be all inclusive total, i.e it includes all the 1800 mentioned already. No breakdown of from which departments. Rumours were that some of the grounded ac will be 742 ?? Not good for anyone in any airline.
