I read this this morning over a coffee.
"Low oil prices today may be setting the world up for an oil shortage as early as 2016. Today we have just 2% more crude oil supply than demand and the price of gasoline in Texas is under $2.00 a gallon. If oil supply falls too far, we could see gasoline prices doubling within 18 months. For a commodity as critical to our standard of living as oil is, it only takes a small shortage to drive the price up."

True. Airline fleet planners rarely read brochures, but my reference had more to do with comments by other posters who see the C series as a regional jet with only a geared turbo fan on offer. Really???

F35? How about a sufficient number of drones and a few Eurofighters?
