Who are these guys? Former ______ (insert) what other company?

A Google search leads to Wikipedia which says that it's the call-sign of the IFL group. That clears it up, doesn't it?

 

[landlover]

ifl out of pontiac michigan? strange though, could have sworn there call sign was "transauto".

 

[RedGuy]

Eifel is the 135 call sign for IFL Group, always has been. Transauto is the 121 call sign for IFL Group, used to be the 125 call sign for IFL Group.

So if you here Eifel its a Falcon and if you hear Trans-auto it is either a convair or a 727.

Their Falcons are sooooooooooooo nice!

The convair 5800 is SWEEEET!

That is correct...

The falcons are probably the best cargo falcons you will ever see. Only 3 in cargo, 1 pax...all use the Eifel call sign.

[PUNISHER]

Can any of you Trans-auto guys tell me if Mike B. is still flying at IFL. He was a PTK based convair FO.

 

[bobs98tlr]

i started class in october, just finished IOE

 

[bobs98tlr]

Sweet....thanks for filling my seat. I left in October. I loved the guys i flew with but i had a lot of things going on in life and wanted to move back where im from. Enjoy...and SM is your friend, be good to her.

Wow, pat yourself on the back, probably the hardest training you'll ever go through , I hope you last longer than all the other new hires as of late, welcome to my world!

 

[lansen]

I know the training was brutal... Bob what are you doing now?

 

[bobs98tlr]

Flying for American Eagle...Like i said, i really enjoyed the guys i flew with, learned alot and miss the convair but i needed to get back home. AE was the best way for me. IFL is a good place to be but i actally make more money at AE then what i did at IFL. I feel bad for leaving early since i was only there for 7 months but things change and you have to do whats best for you.
