As for PR with numbers only (T.K.); I still don`t see any problem of announcing order quantities with no name association regardless of customer plans. As long as the customer name is not mentioned, it`s all good.
Number crunching re: Aeroflot ain`t easy (need more data, so my SWAG is more a WAG), but there are 44 Business Class seats on a 767, and 62 1st/Business Class seats on an IL96. So my WAG, assuming better than half Aeroflot`s flights are longer distance and these type planes are used exclusively for such flights is (60 aircraft X 53 average number of seats having the device) around 3,000 units. This excludes any added carry-on portables for the ``suffering lower class`` passengers. Caveats to the max, and I note that Aeroflot now has 777s (not mentioned in the info as a digE user plane type, but would more than likely be used for longer flights, has 55 Business Class seats).
And I KNOW nuttin`!
