From casual observation they seem to staff them (at hubs generally, not EWR specifically) to some level when the excrement hits the rotary impeller for IROPS, but the level of excrement required seems to be increasing.

Have you seen them actually
staffed or just there? Aside from DCA which is an odd duck all around (and gets a lot of political travelers which I'm sure helps) I can't remember the last time I've seen a staffed CSC anywhere (actually the last time was the one you pictured at EWR in ~January). Cleveland's CSC has been unstaffed for a long time, even pre-AOD and at one point I was essentially told that it is only there because the city can't be bothered to take the sign pointing to it down

I can think of a few things that may just barely make it OK, but I also think the relevant fire/life safety authorities (which I believe for EWR is the PAPD) may object to this if someone were to whisper in the right person's ear.
