Lol, the fuselage of BA and EZY A319s are exactly the same.
The reason there are so many seats in EZYs A319s is that there are only two toilets (which I feel is sufficient) and two half galleys rather than full sized galleys, primarily because easyJet only need the one oven for their hot passenger snacks.
The layout works well for easyJet.
In order to give lots of space, the cabin is very "open plan" which is why so many Cabin Crew miss the old 737-700s.
From an article on the Herald Tribune:
"On short-haul flights, between London and Nice, for example, BMI is top with 32 inches, followed by EasyJet (29 to 32 inches) and British Airways (31 inches). EasyJet has the widest seat (18 inches) compared with BMI (17 to 17.5 inches) and BA (17 inches). Grab a seat in the front row of an EasyJet 737 and stretch your legs out as far as you want."
However I think the above was written a while back.
I have done alot of research and I have now established standard pitch for BA Euro Traveller is 31". On some of the old 757s it is 32".
However, in the new A321s it is 30" so it looks like BA plan to give 30" in their new aircraft.
EZY's seats are 1" wider than BA's.
So to be honest there isn't much in it.
For example:
easyJet (ex GB A321, when fitted in EZY layout) 29" Pitch (seat 1" wider than BA).
British Airways A321 30" Pitch (seat 1" narrower than EZY).
The minimum seat width on the old EZY ex Go 737s was 17.3" but these have long gone now.
