Look at that list. Who in their right mind would fly to NJ?

On top of that the main reason to fly regional jets into Newark besides collecting EAS cash is to facilitate international connections. What is the level of international flying in Newark right now compared to February?

Will all of the block hours from last year return? Probably not. But Phil Murphy is holding up this show not United.
Yep, EWR is mostly an international airport. If people are flying to New York they go to LGA or JFK, not EWR. Expect that airport to remain deader than most until international travel picks up again sometime in 2022.

The conspiracy theory was that united wanted C5 flying there but the port authority said no.

A little birdie with a reliable reputation told me the other day that had certain NY politicians not told the Port Authority to tell United to keep us out of Newark we would have been assigned 8000 block hours in August...nearly 75-80% of our pre-covid totals.

These politicians are destroying our livelihoods and those of countless other millions by continuing these pointless lockdowns, all to save the smallest fraction of the population. I live across the river so I can't vote in NY but if you do, you better do your part to vote these clowns out of office.

The sad thing is either C5 or EV will likely be toast by the next election so it's probably too little too late, but I encourage everyone to remember that it wasn't Trump who destroyed their livelihoods...it was the liberal idealists who clearly failed their class in probability and statistics.
Illinois has similar restrictions but RJ’s are still flying through ORD. This is purely a function of the fact that EWR (and IAD to an extent) has a ton of international flying pre-covid that won’t return for awhile. It isn’t some blue state conspiracy theory to kill Commutair.
