I guess they could pair it with a 738/739 uneven distribution on PDX/SJC-JFK-PDX/SJC, and have planes go SEA-JFK-SJC/PDX... but that is really weird to have less seats one way in a market than the other way.
not entirely ... LAX/SAN< -->BWI switches between 738 and 739 on a fairly regular basis

there are a TON of LAX/SFO< -- >SEA trips with Airbii, one of those will probably make up this new JFK trip
