Hi Uresh
Some questions: Is it clear why the LN29 aircraft at Lackland AFB has been there for so long? (7 months) Is this the amount of time it takes to rework these aircraft? (At least from LN7 to LN29) Or has the aircraft not been worked on constantly throughout this period?
And, which was the last aircraft to receive the "side of body" modifications?

According to Brendan, the next Air India Frame (LN # 54) is still in position 1 as Uresh's spreadsheet shows, and there is another frame in position 0, but Brendan did not know the know the Line #.

I thought they were ramping up to 10 per month by the end of this year. Now they are saying by the end of 2013. Am I mistaken or did they change their forecast?

Ra,
You are mistaken. It has always been their plan to be at 10/month by end of 2013. They'll be at 5/month by the end of this year.
