Delta should operate a small fleet of A330 Beluga's to move the parts from Montreal to Mobile.

The bolded part is intriguing. I'm interested to see what changes they make.

Fascinating to see this unfold day by day....

So the 319N would disappear and Airbus would then offer the following narrowbody lineup:
CS100-300
A320N-A321N-A321LRN

Though regarding a "strong potential" to develop, "step-by-step", a more harmonised single-aisle range with "higher commonality" – taking advantage of the technology and design incorporated into the CSeries, I imagine that would only come after the NEO generation of narrowbody. A new clean sheet aircraft benefiting from Bombardier's R and D.
I can see how they might two separate lines of narrowbodies but the C series and the Airbus fly by wire designs are radically different. (You have to trim the C series from Christ's sake!)
I don't think it would be possible to "merge" both C-Series and A320 in the near future.

If the Pratt claim of the Ultra high bypass engine is correct, it makes most sense for Airbus to go CS100-500, which covers 110-185ish seats, then develop an all new jet on that engine, that covers 200-350+ seats. Airbus then simply retires the A320/330 line, the A380 can be scrapped too. So you have CS100-500, a new plane(A360?), A350. The rest isn't needed.

WAIT.

They did fly by wire and you have to trim it?

WTF is that????

And why does this thing have a 5 knot max crosswind if the airport is above 4000?

A "novel" concept - it keeps the pilot IN the loop with the FBW system when hand flying...

It's not a dead stick like the Airbus. It incorporates numerous cues to keep the pilot in the loop as to what the aircraft is doing.

Safety, stability and comfort trumped by make pilot already in the loop be... in the loop?

Hopefully Airbus will change that for the better.

"The thing I don't like about the Airbus is you can't trim it when you're hand flying..." said no pilot ever.
