EWR has nothing to do with either. That should be a layover city or a separate base.
We complained about EWR a long time ago. The company agreed and dropped it as a co terminal. Huge amounts of angst and screaming from the NJ and PA pilots. The company agreed to restart originating rotations in EWR. It went much like 5 day trips. We got rid of them after the merger but pilots wanted them back. Be careful what you wish for!
