Frankly JB couldn't afford to service the SAVE acquisition debt if they parked the yellow airplanes until retrofitting is done, they will fly... Website will probably have a disclaimer when booking certain flights that the plane isn't yet up to the full JetBlue standard during the transition.
Trying to find out if required, but all Airtran pilots went through full SWA new hire training. I would not be surprised if the same happens here.
