I disagree with you. I fly a lot. I can know where 5 different letters are I will not know for certain if 36 is in row C or D unless I know exactly which gate of 60+ gates is in each gate house. 5 letters are much easier to memorize the locations of than 50-80 gates. I don’t look at the map at DCA at all. If they had numbers I’d probably need to, but this system helps it so I can get from the metro to my gate in less than 10 minutes.
It speeds things up and I do not see how it harms anyone beyond trigging OCD aversion in some people.

That's fine, I feel like I said that wrong and implied I was advocating specifically that, I don't get the redundancy, not that I dislike alphanumeric systems
