I am not an expert in this type of aircraft, but a ground speed of 209 seems a little bit slow. I will be monitoring for any critical changes.

I know this is petty...but I wish JetBlue could decide on jetBlue or JetBlue. I see both all the time, including on their website. AND since no one asked, I prefer big J and big B. 😉
