I was wondering about that because they do EWR-CLE and the Q does EWR-IAD. Perhaps this is because traditionally when these were done, they were a mix of CAL/UAL bases, for example, a legacy UAL regional could fly to EWR when it was a legacy CAL hub and so on, and the flying continues even though all the planes have the same paint on them now.
