Mint flight bumped from morning to afternoon on JFK-SEA??

Was scheduled to fly JFK-SEA on B6 in Mint in June departing 0900ish arriving noonish. Got an e-mail that the flight had changed, and to my surprise, the times were almost the same, but they had swapped out for a non-Mint plane. Cancelled our tickets (as the entire impetus of flying B6 was to finally try Mint) and took a look at the schedule -- they apparently are now flying the Mint plane on the JFK-SEA evening route (~1600-2000 slot).

Anyone understand the reasoning behind this? Few people (if any) are getting upgraded to Mint, and you'd think the bigger market for revenue Mint flyers would be on the primetime 0900-1200 route, rather than the awkward east-west flight departing at 1600.
