Not sure where you're getting that info from, but it incorrect. Runway 26 
starts at 697' and ends at 727'. Runway 33 starts at 694' and ends at 
778'. Runway 33/15 is the longer of the two runways at 6886'. There is no 
300' incline, as that would be quite a bear to land and take off on!

This info comes from the FAA online airport diag at:

Personally, I think the A320 will have issues with a nonstopper BUR/JFK. 
When they start service, in May 2005, the heat at BUR will just be 
starting up, so if jetBlue can survive the summer at BUR, then they'll be 
ok, but it gets darn hot in Burbank!

It would have been much easier for jetBlue to fly out of/to ONT than BUR.
