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?

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

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.

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.
