JetBlue eliminates all IAD- Dulles service
As someone who lives close to IAD, this isn't good news for me.

Part of a relatively significant route network shake-up. IAD, DAB and STX all disappear. PWM goes seasonal. Several FLL routes are also dead.

In exchange for those cuts the Caribbean gets more service and FLL gets a PHX flight while losing LGB.

They cancelled a roundtrip I had booked for February and put me on a connecting flight that takes 6 hours longer (with layovers). What are my options besides keeping the new route or canceling altogether? My currently-available options on other airlines are no longer as competitively priced.

You have not provided the original routing, so will presume that it is a domestic ticket. As B6 does not interline with any other US carrier, your options are to fly the new ticket, find something better on B6, or take a refund and purchase a new ticket on another carrier (or cancel the trip).
Check your travel insurance to see what it may cover of your additional expenses.

would love to see DCA-JFK out of this, I have gone to IAD a few times so I can get a Mint connecting flight. Connecting in Boston to go to California is a bit silly.

I'm curious about the aircraft now. Because I have claustrophobia issues, I've been going to BWI for direct flights to FLL because of the larger plane. Now that that route is no longer, I am wondering if they will begin routing A320/A321 through DCA instead? All the flights out of there seem to be E190.
