ACR or ROU
So... I'm pretty sure Rouge use to be ACR on sites like flight radar etc (I think, but I might be crazy).

They are now showing up as ROU.

Do you think these are steps they are taking to better separate the two?

RV/ROU have always been the IATA/ICAO identifiers for rouge.

I don't ever recall seeing ACR.

Rouge has its own IATA code (RV), though they operate exclusively under AC flight numbers. If anything, they should be RV on FlightAware, etc

Nope, their ICAO code has been ROU since 2013. IATA codes mean nothing to ATC.
