The company can operate as 2 operating certificates. There is precedent for that (Republic, Atlas, etc.). It won't be as efficient, but they don't have to wait for a supreme court decision to actually merge. And in the meantime they could merge most of the operation, and maybe even transfer some assets to the JetBlue certificate. Annoying? Yes, but IMHO I don't think that's a deal-breaker. They WILL get the approval, eventually. Maybe it happens in late January of 2025...
