There's no slack on the long-haul fleet in the summer to send these aircraft away for upgrades in July and August. I suspect the first non-prototype mods will be started in October (maybe late September) and just barely come into service by the end of the year.
IIRC mods start up in Sep for the 330 and AUG for the last handful of 767s.
It shouldn't take more than 3 maybe 4 weeks tops to do the mods once the first two are done. (thus the STC has been given)
