It would be interesting to know where you have found an EMRO to do the axial mod on the 22B Dont think any have been done yet.
But then after the Haj maybe you are not worried !!
Quite the contrary, after the Hajj, it is important, as the aeroplane will be used in scheduled service, the only one worldwide, so I believe.
The TriStar was chosen because of several factors...low cost of acquisition, large cabin volume (especially business class) and belly cargo volume.
If the project proves successful (and as it's being headed by the original ex-Laker number two, I would fully expect that it will be) a newer aircraft will be substituted at some point...maybe.
