The only reasons the MAX isn't seeing more cancellations is because Airbus simply can't create many more production slots particularly quickly, and because Willie Walsh surely bent Boeing over his knee for that IAG letter of intent. If Airbus had the space in their production, they could put a major hurt on Boeing right now. The A321XLR might do quite a lot to Boeing on its own over the longer term.
