I'm not really sure, aside from the main characters. Faulkner tells Fynn in the cockpit that "13 of us are left alive". When he meets with Matheson at the end of the movie to collect his money he says that he had time to prepare a speech for him over the last 3 months and that 11 of the men are still alive. I can only assume that 13 escaped on the plane but Jock and limbani died,leaving only 11 left.

12 survived, Faulkner meant they're 11 other men alive, not including himself
