(A morning flight can also be useful, but the midday flight seems pointless except from an aircraft utilization point of view.) The 7:30pm BOS-PIT is good timing. Since US has a 8:xx pm PIT-BOS nonstop and a 7:xx pm BOS-PIT nonstop, they win, sadly.

If the loads are good perhaps B6 will consider adding such a flight. So far that has been the main impediment to trying them.
The fares are one-way, if you like the B6 7:30 pm BOS-PIT, I'd choose that over the freqently delayed/cancelled ERJ that runs the US 7:xx pm BOS-PIT. No first class on either of those aircraft. Book two separate one ways and take the late US plane on the other side of your trip.

Also, radio advertising has been heavy in BOS, including a tagline at the end "PS Fly from Boston non-stop to Pittsburgh on Jetblue"
