Yes, but not on the 220. 320 and 73N.
However, it’s seniority dependent AND marketing dependent. DL changes month to month how much EWR flying on each airframe. Six months ago I was told the 73N was the plane for EWR and the 320 doesn’t do much. Looking at the pairings it doesn’t seem that way anymore.
If you’re in NE PA (I’m also in PA, but near PHL) than UAL is a clear winner. EWR is a huge AND junior base, with all airframes. And UAL hasn’t hired nearly as many pilots as DL in the last 10 years, and they have a much more robust widebody fleet (great except when international goes to zero/COVID).
