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.
