airline code lookup table
There is an airport code lookup table, but nothing comparable for airlines.
'seems to me a lookup table of airline codes would be quite useful, not only to clarify some lingo but also when obscure connecting airline, designed only by its code, makes it on a ticket or a reservation.

United is UA.
American is AA
DL is Delta,
Northwest is NW
CO is Continental
BA is British Airways.
KL is KLM
AF is Air France
All fairly logical really.
That covers 90% of posts on FT
And for more obscure or less used ones try:

AS (Alaska), for being a neutral (and above-average) partner for seemingly everyone.
SQ (Singapore)... because a lot of people like talking about how amazing SQ is

How could you......
forget about CX!!!!!!
They should be somewhat unforgetable if you've spent anytime in the pointy end of a long haul flight. Plus the Wing and Pier at HKG, too. ^ ^
CX Cathay Pacific

35 years ago in Colombia, I flew on a national carrier (Uribe?) that had the cartoon crow characters Heckle and Jeckle painted on their planes. Even my young, reckless student mind questioned the wisdom of what I was undertaking when I climbed aboard. But if they are still around and have a symbol, they too should be included, especially since I did survive to tell of it.
(Why is CX so terrible? I have no experience of them, but have been tempted by their come-ons to fly to and around Asia for $999 or whatever it these days.)
