first, did the crew leave the landing gear down after takeoff or shortly thereafter to cool the brakes in response to ecam message?

second, a ground cooling chart is a bit different circumstance than flying around cooling the brakes by leaving the gear extended.

was it a quick turn? should jetblue discontinue quick turns at Las Vegas?

I've seen nothing so far regarding the brakes, except potential problems due to loss of hydraulics.

AS to the notion mentioned by bobnspike. If that's the case, perhaps we should shut down pprune. After all, pilots never make mistakes, right?

Is it possible that the crew was talking to jetblue dispatch/mx? And encouraged to try to ''fix'' things and then continue on to New York to save money? You know, sort of like Alaska talking to the crew that lost the MD83 to the trim problem?

No, pilots never make mistakes, they never have their company's economic interests at heart.
