Apparently yesterday QR076 (A7-BCK) cancellation (LHR-DOH) was not related to the grounding of the fleet but due to hydraulic system issue...
Booked for end of March :-( Would be more comfortable flying 787 than old a330/a340... C on the 787 is comparable to F on the a330/a340. If I'm lucky I get transferred on a 777.
GS Yuasa (the battery manufacturer) estimated that grounding might be months long:
