The original callsign was "Acey" for the airline's ATC identifier ASE. Then it was changed to "Candler" because yes, some guard unit in NM had a similar callsign, and someone claimed they were confused. Then that guard unit disbanded, and it was changed back to "Acey", but the ATC identifier was ASQ.
