Yes. If you want to stay A320 go to Espirit. As stated above since you’d be hired after date of offer the acquisition was accepted it would have to be DOH, since no new hire can claim that they were adversely effected by the merger/acquisition since it is public information at this point. In addition to if you are a Florida person, you might just get an MCO or FLL base right away (you may and likely will get booted out during SLI) whereas a new hire at JB would probably never get a Florida base out of training.
If you just Can’t Just Can’t bear the thought of flying another plane, go to Frontier as with JetBlue Spirit you could get downgraded into A220 once the companies are merged.
