No airline in this pandemic is buying wide body (WB) yet. Boeing lucked out  with its 787 programs as it offers a smaller seat count per airplane than the A350 family of aircraft when passenger seat ticket sales have a quantity decline. The dip in covid-19 seat sales allows Boeing's airline customers to reconfigure floor plans more efficiently. 

Thus a 240 seat 787 can reconfigure with a 180 seat variation being purchased by the airline for less money than the purchase price of a A350-900 or A 350-1000. 

The 787-10 is more attractive for stuffing covid-19 risk passenger than the A350-1000 400 seater going all the way across oceans and continents.

Boeing is positioned better than Airbus to sweep airshows in 2021.
