Never understood this, because they effectively give up Manhattan traffic for a perceived Northern Jersey captive market.

PIT-EWR on CO is usually $900 for less than 3 days.
PIT-LGA on US is $200
PIT-JFK on B6 is $200

But, the numbers must work for them either in terms of they feel they don't get the NYC O&D for short duration business travel and/or they get enough people who have to go to Jersey and refuse to cross a bridge to make money.
