Airline Flight Question

I'm tracking a particular flight on Jet Blue's site right now.

They departed JFK airport in NYC at 12:08 and it says estimated arrival time at LAX in LA 2:53 P.M. This might sound like a dumb question but when they say 2:53 PM are they talking about 2:53 LA time? If they're talking EST zone then that doesn't make any sense to me because I thought it was going to be like a 5 or 6 hour flight.

    Their departure and arrival times are in local time zones.

    So the time zones I'm seeing on their site are for the time zone that I'M currently in, right?

    They departed at 12:08 Eastern Time and will arrive in LA at 2:53 Pacific Time.
