I'm really not sure what "beefier" numbers buy you but I don't suppose a 3
digit number is appreciably worse than a 1 digit number. However, I think
mnemonics are better than any kind of number since they are much easier
memorized. Then, your users won't need you to do lookups to tell them what
airline '1' (or '123') is, assuming you've chosen good mnemonics.
