JetBlue responds
Very quickly got this response back from one of the JetBlue VPs I emailed:
Dear Hugh,
Thank you for your email.
Please let me assure you that, contrary to reports, JetBlue has not
entered into an agreement to implement the CAPPS II program with the
Transportation Security Administration. Further, no JetBlue customer
information has been provided for purposes of testing the CAPPS II
program currently under design.
We respect and support the important work of the TSA and, like other
US carriers, we’re proud to have a close working relationship with
them.
We certainly hope to the opportunity one day soon to serve you aboard
JetBlue.
Sincerely,
Gareth

Well, unless he’s lieing through his teeth, “we aren’t doing CAPPS II” is certainly the most satisfying response I have recieved on this issue.
Of course, he could be lieing through his teeth. I’ll guess I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt for now, and continue to not fly JetBlue just because I have no need to, not because I’m actively avoiding it.
