Airbus already has a toe-hold in the low-cost sector - Jetblue in the States. Jetblue has 150+ orders for the A320 and has done exceedingly well. I am sure Stelios and Webster have taken notice of Jetblue and their positive customer experience. Given the choice, most customers would prefer flying on an A320 vs. a cramped 737NG.
As for the pilots, the Airbus has a more ergonomic flight deck - it is more advanced and more comfortable. Plus, the side-stick reminds one of flying the F-18 Hornet - it's more advanced than the rebuilt 737.
I hope you Easy/Go pilots get the chance to fly the Airbus - you'll never want to go back to the traditional yoke...
Cheers
