It is indeed small. Smaller than any other modern wide body, excluding the 767. What else is there? Yep, nothing else smaller.
I missed this one. If we are to assume Anderson was referring to MTOW to base size then the 787-8 is smaller than the A330. AlphaGolf listed the A333 MTOW at 534,000 lbs and the A330-200 is listed at 510,000 lbs. The Boeing 787-8 has a lower MTOW of 502,500 lbs. You're above statement is incorrect if we are to consider the Boeing 787-8 a "modern wide body".
