There is only one Core config plane being delivered between now and then IIRC. I know that the Mint deliveries do free up some 320s to do other routes but many of those are spoken for, too (BUF-LAX, FLL-MSY, etc.). Fortunately most of the replacement routes are not transcons so things can fill in more quickly, but I'd want to be able to do 4x daily if I were JetBlue going in to that market. Because we know Delta is going to get aggressive in fighting back.
