Going from west of Hudson to JFK requires at least 2 bridges or tunnels, the toll would be min $15 alone. Taking public transit from JFK to Manhattan takes at least 40 minutes, and it takes more time to get to where ever you are going in NJ. Comparing to no bridge or tunnels, and taking NJ transit to EWR and connect to Airtrain.
Passengers from IAD or BOS don't drive to JFK, they fly AA and connect. If there are enough passengers in IAD or BOS who would pay good money to fly CX, then CX will fly there. With EWR, those from PHL can take the train to EWR.
