Over the past 5 years jetblue has changed or exited 30% of cities compared to SWA,DAL, UAL and AA being less than 10%.

For reference Jetblue has a probability of exiting a city between 25-40% while Delta and United are less than 10%

This, boys and girls, is the epitome of bad management and route planning.
And/or just no place to go. No money to sustain small losses during a ramp up period.
