If you're trying to tell me building 100 planes makes them cheaper than building 1000 planes, you're confirming your idiocy.
Imagine how cheap they'd be if Boeing only built one.....

Demand is not dictated by the cost of production. They are not the only AC manufacturer. Let me help you. If China canceled 400 orders Boeing would have over capacity of production. This would cause Boeing to either lower there price, reduce profit margins, or close down some production. It would not cause a price increase. That would be suicidal. If an airline is deciding on new equipment it comes down to a few pennies on the dollar to make a decision. It isn’t a massive cost reduction just enough to make them choose Boeing.
