JB won't even pay the tax to fly to Canada. I'd be shocked if they would pay the high tax rate for Heathrow.
My guess is-
Trading our 321LR options for a great rate on some old 330's that Airbus is now stuck with, pre CBA... carrot dangle.

Looks like the earliest arrival slot SAS currently holds is an 8:50am, which is a bit later than desired for US carriers. Middle East routes would fit better with SAS slot availabilities. I'm betting one of the ME3 is the undisclosed buyer.
JB will go to London at some point, but probably not LHR.
Also, this slot purchase would qualify as 'material change' in the eyes of the SEC which requires immediate notification. So, again, rules out any US airline for these slots.

One a day BOS/JFK would suck, but it's a start in the busiest TATL route. If timed right then the two flights could be complimentary. You can connect in BOS to almost the same number of places as you can connect in JFK.
I still don't think this is us, but the 3yr timeline would be about right.
I could also see us leasing/buying slots from TAP since we're buddy-buddy with Neeleman now and they have a handful of LHR slots. And/or if you want to get really wild, we could find some LCY slots for trans-Atlantic with those CSeries we're gonna get

. I can see JB using Stansted or Luton instead of Heathrow or even Gatwick with its one runway. Stansted would work great IMO.
A 321LR or even a CS300 could work on thinner routes to Ireland from BOS. If JB doesn't act, Norwegian certainly will fill the void.... I personally feel the MINT service would work very well across the Pond.
