No it isn't!!

Because of structual problems with the very first winglets a few years ago the wing spar has to be strenthend and almost the entire wing has to be removed...... still worth it in the end.

Remember, its not only the fuel savings and extra payload capacity, it adds a nice ammount to the aircraft's value and hence the balance sheet!!
