I know JetBlue got the A320's on the cheap, but you have to wonder about the wisdom of setting up a transcon-focused airline using aircraft you know cannot do transcons when there are strong headwinds. Exactly the same thing happened fairly frequently last winter as well.

FWIW the winds--and refueling stops--continue today, 2/18.
