Serious Tracon identifiers

Let me explain more since we have 3
naming conventions for N90 SCT and MIA. Why not keep with only one name format at least the ones that have to do with Class B airspace.

Pretty easy... MIA is an up/down so that's the airport code. N90 is a standalone tracon so you have a letter and 2 digits. SCT is a consolidated tracon just like NCT and PCT meaning one facility took over a large tracon and a bunch of small ones and consolidated them into one facility.

In other words, there's no rime or reason why the standalone like N90 are named the way they are
