ACEY CALLSIGN - Good or Bad?

[Metro752]

Asq - Air Squirrle

Yes, it was the old call sign. There was a reserve unit in NM that used it too. We had a few conflicts with in in AMA and LBB. ASA went to Candler as a quick fix.
When this until was disbanded, they changed it back. Problem was that ASE as a ICAO designator was in use in Africa I believe. We chose ASQ and use the current/ old call sign.

It is better than the old one.

How about RICO or STACHE (as in Brad's moustache)?

I liked the idea of Kudzoo. The imported roadside weed that takes over everything, and is impossible to kill.

Exactly like what the regionals are doing to mainline!

What a toolbag! Go cry to someone who gives a brown rat's ass!

Touche'

And remember, somebody had to import the weed, via scope clause written and re-written since 1978.

I liked Candler better personally. Try saying "Acey 883" all day on the radio.

The Navajos that fly out of ATL; callsign Bushwood.

 

[Farfugnügen]

Personally I think "Chicken Fuker" or "Meow" would be most appropriate. :smash:

 

[DrunkIrishman]

You guys are lame for bringing a mainline v regional debate into this!

Candler sucked as a callsign!! (No disrespect to Richard's family)

Given that the original commuter type airlines were running around in weed whackers like jetscreams and sewertubes rather than flying something with 70-90 seats (al la DC-9 and 737-100) for only slightly better than weedwhacker pay when corrected for inflation...

Yep, we've all been guilty at some point in helping the race to the bottom. Mainline unions gave up too much in the way of scope. Too many impatient kids wanting to fly for food. If you don't like the picture history is going to paint of your shiny RJ, try to get one of those mainline jobs

ooops, they don't exist!

Good alternate ASA call signs:

-Priddy
-BCS for existing before the age of code shares.

Meow gets my vote.

 

[flatspin7]

Meow gets my vote.

It cant work as a call sign but it would be great if every pilot tried to sneak in the word "Meow" once on every frequency and twice on every PA! If you do it the other guy has to buy you a beer.

You get a bonus if you call approach controller a ChickenFu*ker... no beer but you get respect!
