Multiple other articles available via Google search but basically each airline has its own logic behind flight numbers in many cases, even if it's not always discernible to passengers.
Used to be that there were 'symbolic' flight numbers, I recall that NW used 1492 for flight to/from Columbus and 1776 for Philadelphia and 500 for Indianapolis. I think there were others as well, but these are flight numbers I remember.
