Lets put it this way. The three letter code is really a non-problem when you are talking about replacing a reservation system with a newer one. Nothing says that the new codes have to be three letter, and all the old codes can be retained as is even with additional aliases thrown in (making good use of the much larger storage and much more capable processors available today). The real problem facing this excellent idea is finding the funding for said overall replacement of the system and the setting up the requisite governance system that all stake holders agree to abide by and use, and body for running the integrated system, plus the associated tarrif and cross charging agreements.
But as is not unusual, us techies are prone to focus on some trivial technical detail while ignoring the real problems until they hit us in our collective face.
