- I'm not a controller, but I've spent a lot of time at NY Tracon, and
- I've never seen 1200 codes suppressed in any sector. Yes, it's
- possible, but none of the controllers that I know do it, and they
- say that it's rarely, if ever, done.

- If the sector is within the TCA, there's little reason to display 1200
- codes, since nobody will be operating (legally) with one. And,
- similarly, there's no reason to suppress 1200 codes, since the number of
- 1200 codes in the sector will be vanishingly small.
