Or was the delivery schedule for the 320neos just too long by the time AC was going to get on board?

It just seems that with the nature of why these two families were developed there had to be one amazing reason to switch.
AC would have been an almost all Boeing fleet at mainline, with perhaps the A330's sticking around for a while longer (and some A321's). So they would end up with a Boeing/Bombardier (now Airbus) fleet.
