However with a 380 frame out of action for 30-40 days at a time its going to be a slow roll-out of at least 12 months once work gets under way before the fleet is retrofitted.

I was going to ask the same thing, I am guessing not yet.
But very interesting to convert the 2-3-2 layout upstairs from CW to CS (similar to the 788 conversions) and I can imagine that it works out quite cost-effectively for them.
I wonder if they will keep WTP upstairs too, possibly with the loss of the WT cabin on the UD and I am assuming that F will stay in the forward lower deck and remain F14?
Looking forward to seeing the map when it arrives.
