Not really. JetBlue often changes aircraft last-minute in hubs, and also at larger stations like RSW.
The minimum turn for an A320 is 45 minutes. I would not expect the aircraft that did BDL-RSW to go back to BDL; it would more likely be inbound from an actual hub. I'd be surprised if it were as an hour is a long time for the plane to sit on the ground at an outstation, though I suppose at RSW they can use the extra time for pre-boarding.
