Regarding today's news that Ryanair are talking to Boeing, Comac and Russian manufacturers for a 200-300 aircraft order.
Whilst Airbus don't seem interested, wouldn't such a large order be a dream order for the launch of the 149 seat Bombardier C series?
Admittedly a smaller jet than the 737-800 but it's advantage would be that it could be used on thinner European routes. Seems to me Bombardier and Ryanair could be the perfect match, Bombardier agrees to a substancial discount in return for such a large order, launching the C series into the big time vis a vis Boeing & Airbus.
