We'll see.
As you rightly say, despite being in Swiss colours it's a test/demo aircraft (FTV5), so EZY won't be flying fare-paying passengers around in it, though they could well fill it up with staff and send it on a proving flight somewhere.
But manufacturers do that all the time, Bombardier would be daft to pass up on the opportunity while the aircraft is already in the UK. Whether EZY are seriously considering adding the CSeries to their fleet is a different matter.
