“If the CSeries does what it is supposed do, then a re- engined 737NG or A320 isn’t a good enough response,” said Hal Calamvokis, strategic planning manager at EasyJet Plc, which flies mainly Airbus A319s.
If Montreal-based Bombardier stretches the CSeries and expands its seating to accommodate about 165 passengers, its range would decrease and the aircraft might work for EasyJet.
“At that point, we’d definitely have to do a full evaluation,” Calamvokis said

Very interesting. There seems to be a lot of negativity surrounding a re-engined 737 or A320. Apparently even people in Airbus are saying why bother? The A320 is already a best-seller.
I'm seriously on the fence with this topic and there seems to be a new article about it coming out every other day. Confusing!
