    Falsehoods airlines believe about flight numbers.

      Iirc, AA/Sabre knows that a flight identifier is actually carrier+flight number+origin airport+departure date.

      But who all calls someone by their full name all the time??

      Well, and ATC. Airliners’ callsigns are their flight numbers.
