Hi Chris,
Same thing overheard on Potomac DEP 118.95 this afternoon in the Washington, DC area, with ACY449 departing DCA informing the controller of the callsign change.
Pre-CAA their three-letter was ASE and callsign was actually "ASEA" (Atlantic South(East) Airlines) as opposed to "ACEY". However, now it is as you note below. Interesting!
Logs to follow tomorrow,
Tony

Of Interest or not.
During a discussion with ATC today, an Atlantic Southeast Airline CRJ7 said
their new radio callsign ACEY (ACY) was official as of today (14 Mar).
The pilot said yesterday they were CANDLER (CAA), and today they are all
ACEY (ACY). She also said the former name CANDLER was derived from the name
of
Candler Field in Atlanta, GA. ACEY is supposed to sound like an abbreviation
for Atlantic Southeast, A-SE.
