In 1986 I spent some time at the Royal Jordanian main shop in Amman. Rolls had a crew of 8-10 UK technicians (I carpooled with them) there attempting to expedite RB shop visits to keep their L-1011 fleet healthy. Their average RB life on-wing was a few hundred cycles. True, it was a trying environment, but nonetheless a highly labor-intensive program.
