I'd bet that Newark won't change its 3 letter code; it's too disruptive to the industry to change 3 (or 4) letter codes, so such changes are rare and notorious. The only one I can think of it IDL becoming JFK. Congress didn't force DCA to become REA, RWR or RGN when it forced the airport to adopt the former President's name, nor did IAH's code change when they named the airport after George I. The main airport's code in Chicago is still an abbreviation of its prior name, ORcharD. Orlando's airport still bears the abbreviation of the AFB it used to be, McCoy. Even when an airport is replaced, it retains the code of its predecessor (HKG, DEN). And, most of all, most of the public would neither notice nor care. Nick
