I think you have completely missed the point here, 411A described exactly what you might expect to happen in the big four engine jets that bridged the gap between the big props and todays 'Glass'

There are still quite a lot of B707 flying and as fellow aviators sharing that airspace I, for one, would be very happy to know that 411A was flying the B707, or men of similar experience - yes, at the back of Flight International you will still see, on occasion, adverts for B707, DC8 crew, (Danou_71?).

Not quite sure what career path you have mapped out for yourself but don't be to eager to mock, one day the only job you can get may be on a generation of aircraft you thought were in a museum!
