LAX utilizes all the runways though even if we just use the south side. EWR can utilize 29, but only in windy conditions. The option is still there though… or maybe EWR is the reason they don’t want to open a hub/base in a place that only has 2 runways?
LAX utilizes all the runways but 3-4 airlines have hubs there, so that offsets.
EWR can utilize 29, but have you ever seen them landing 29 and 22L, while launching 22R? Taking an arrival on 22L typically disrupts the 29 flow, so it's still 2 runways at a time.
