They were aditional lines built for the Q400 which were not open to bid, then awarded to the 4 most junior CA's in ewr... they just happend to have weekends off, days off and good pay credits.

These lines would have been taken by those who got awarded the weekend line with all stand up overnights, no credits, and 11 days of... or at least that last described line should have gone to one of them. etc.

Something a contract would fix
 
you have to give colgan credit for working hard- it's hard to make all 40+ lines in ewr chitty. Even pinnacle's top pilots have 16+ days off. And the most we get is one line with 15.

I think one thing that will help is if we were to get longer legs. I mean 45min-1hour flights don't add up to much but low credit and long duty days. Not totally defending the schedule builders but I think it is tough when we are really nothing more than a glorified shuttle service in the skies and end up spending the majority of our time on the ground doing turns.
