JetBlue is smart for using its equipment on better, more profitable and lucrative routes so more people benefit. Obviously the PIT to JFK aircraft will be reallocated.
PIT to JFK could come back at a later date if somehow increased transit usage occured on the route.
Nonstop service is still available on multiple airlines.

Looking at pricing, there was plenty of competition from other carriers, which had better pricing.

JFK to PIT customers can choose other airlines with non stop service.

Will the 3x daily to Boston be enough to keep B6 in town? Flights to MCO or FLL would probably work better for them, although those are leisure routes.

I think I agree as well. They will consider it. I'm pretty sure that B6 will start nonstop PIT-FLL/MCO/TPA instead of going to JFK. Because JFK is not good timing. Because it was so terrible timings. There is no connectivity flight through at JFK hub. They do not have a flexible schedule.
