I think there are far more important things to be concerned with than a callsign. You can call me "Fart Box" for all I care. Just keep the paycheck coming! haha

For what its worth, Acey actually has historical context and pays homage to the company's origins. Asa Candler (which is where "Acey" came from) was responsible for the success of Coca-Cola, was Atlanta's mayor, and Candler Field (now Hartsfield-Jackson) was named after him. There was a period of time in which the FAA required ASA to change their callsign, and we were briefly "Candler," and we thus have used Asa's first and last names for callsigns. I think its pretty cool. I'm a huge history buff, though.
