You don't mean U2 or DZ by any chance?
Or DS, even.

An old chestnut, here's a previous PPRuNe discussion about it:
Why EZY and not U2?
I'd always tended to assume that the reason was some or all of the following:
Recognisability (same reason some airports use RYR and not FR)
Inability of some airport systems to cope with an IATA prefix that ends in a number
Confusion about which part of, say, U2862, is the flight number
