Audio: Recording of Last Continental Flight to Newark
Audio of last Continental flight flying into Newark, Its nice to hear the controllers talking to the pilots with great respect. (www.liveatc.net) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
As noted in the recordings, "It could be worse. You could be Acey."
The radio call sign is derived from the company’s formal name, Atlantic Southeast Airlines. The acronym developed from blending the initialisms *A*tlnatic *S*outh*E*ast (ASE), pronounced “A-cey.” The company, at different times, had been independent, owned by Delta, sold by Delta, sub-contracted by Delta, and now subsumed into ExpressJet Airlines. (Additions or corrections are welcome!)
A related issue: Company call signs on Flight Aware formerly had been revealed on flight number mouse-overs. Where are they now (if at all), or did I miss something? Could it be that owners/mergers/callsigns change so rapidly it is impossible to keep up?

Where are you not seeing the mouseovers work? It just worked for me on an airport page.
@D Baker: For example, KELM enroute/scheduled
FLight ASQ 4495 CRJ7 from DTW
Perhaps I did not make myself clear that I meant the *radio* call sign.
Mouseover on the “ASQ4995” tag used to include the “Acey” (in quotes) radio call sign.
The link to the individual flight page also does not anywhere inform of the “Acey” radio
call sign. . . . or am I experiencing early-onset dementia?

I was always wondered how they got Acey. Good to know. Not to mention SkyWest Inc. is the parent company of Atlantic Southeast. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think they are now the biggest regional airline in the world.
