> a plane that's been built since the 1950s, the argument is now about economies of scale
There used to be economies of scale. It's a 707; they stopped being made in 1979. If you want 707 parts now, there's a good chance they're gonna be produced on a very small scale custom job for you.
(It's also a very special 707, inside and out. Cabin designs can vary significantly from airline to airline, let alone civilian to military.)
