The plane being used will be an airbus 320 (A320), which has 150 seats all economy class, the following is a description from Seatguru.com of this aircraft:

All of JetBlue’s new A320 aircraft have a redesigned interior, including all-leather Recaro seats, 10 percent more overhead bin space and LED cabin lighting. The seats offer improved cushion comfort and knee space as a result of a thinner seat profile and thinner armrests. The new sidewall structure adds space to the cabin and increases shoulder space at the window seats. All middle seats now have an underseat entertainment equipment box, which limits foot and storage space.

JetBlue has added “Even More Legroom” seats with 38 inch pitch to rows 2-5 and 10-11. Even More Legroom seats may be reserved from $10 per flight segment and will vary based on distance. All other seats have 34 inch pitch.
