JetBlue's new 38" pitch has me interested in flying SEA to SYR on May 9. However, the online reservations (and on the phone too, at least at this late hour) will not allow me to book anything other than a red eye. I can't take a red eye, as I'm traveling with my kids. There is a 9am flight to JFK, which lands at 5:15pm. The next flight to SYR isn't until 10:55pm. I'm fine with waiting until then, but at first attempt it seems like will not allow this long connection, and want me to pay for the legs separately (which adds lots of money). I was surprised that they couldn't force a connection on the phone, and were willing to lose the business rather than do it. Has anyone had any success in doing this, or other suggestions?

Thanks.
