I can't find any info about the average Jetblue trip lengths.
In the FL bases the shorter trip lengths go somewhat senior as most people live within easy driving distance. The only commuters I've flown with over the past 3 years all lived in ATL or IAH, and now we have domiciles in both of those cities.
In fact just this past week I saw very commutable 4 day trip, late start/early finish with no redeyes and 1-2 legs per day, sit in open time for several days and eventually went to a reserve.
