If Boeing costs did make them less competitive and Airbus couldn't match increased demand the likely result would be major cariers holding on to older equipment for longer. Given the consequences of a tariff induced recession would likely be lower oil prices this might not impact airlines too badly.
Then there are other manufacturers. Embraer might benefit and perhaps even Comac if the lunacy lasts long enough.
