If much training is required, then you are admitting that it's not the same plane anymore. And if it's not the same plane, then why does it get to grandfather in all the unchanged parts from the 1960s? Meaning... perhaps things like doors? I could be wrong about this, but I thought there were a bunch of mechanical parts which you would have to design differently on a new aircraft, to meet current rules.
