Newark almost never uses runway 29, especially for the 757. I would like to see them use this runway exclusively for the ERJ's and thus free up runway 4/22 for the bigger planes.
I didn't even know the 737 and 757 could use that runway. I thought it was too short. I've had some hot landings on it with ERJ's resulting in full reverse thrusters and full brakes (nice smell, not) so I'd suspect something is unusual about the approach.
