Since I'm over the hump for 1K this year, I thought I might branch out and try a different airline. What aircraft is B6 flying on the JFK-RDU routes? Is it their Airbus plane or one of the E170s? Do the latter have the in-flight entertainment B6 is famous for?

Also... I'll probably sign up for a TrueBlue account. Any special offers or "Recommend A Friend" bonuses I can take advantage of?

JetBlue flies the Airbus A320 and Embraer E190, a bigger and more comfortable plane than the E170. JFK-RDU-JFK is operated using the E190. CLT is an A320 city due to higher demand. You'll find the famous IFE on the E190, and chances are currently even more options than on the A320 - since that fleet is not finished being updated. On the E190, you'll enjoy 2x2 seating (no middle seat) with 37 channels of FREE Direct TV programming, 3 Fox Inflight movies for $5 (which doesn't really matter on a short flight) and 100 channels of FREE XM Satellite Radio. Check out http://www.jetblue.com/about/whyyoulllike/index.html for more info on the jetBlue fleet and service you'll expect and receive.
No current bonuses I can think of for registering for TrueBlue, but if you shift more travel to jetBlue, I would definitely say to consider the jetBlue card from AMEX... www.jetbluecard.com.
