JetBlue Is Blocking All Middle Seats Through Early July

Passenger masks are not practical for long flights in my opinion. Most cabins are around 5000 to 8000 feet altitude on longer flights. Wearing a N95 type mask naturally involves rebreathing some exhaled breath at the cabin higher than sea level. Perhaps some CO2 is rebreathed. Over a longer time a mask will become wet also making breathing labored.
Currently the masks are required. My choice is not to fly until no mask requirement. I understand the Jet Blue requirement. At least seats can be filled and passenger business travel can be completed.
