Angel Flight call signs

I'm in Angel Flight Central. I've only done one flight so far, but I used
"Angel Flight" as my call sign. I didn't mess with the NGF before my tail
number. I just filed N1234 and put in the comments I was an Angel Flight. On
the radio, ATC called my "Angel Flight 234...".

There's another group called Lifeline pilots based out of Peoria, I think.
Maybe they use "Compassion". Not sure.

I just read the procedures handbooks for two different Angel Flight
organizations and noticed that one recommends the call sign "Compassion"
and filing flight plans with the identifier "CMFxxx" and the other,
"Angel Flight" and the identifier "NGFxxx."

Having heard "Angel Flight xxx" for years I was surprised to learn the
"Compassion" term apparently has been around since 1999. Neither seems
to be mentioned in the AIM; "Lifeguard" is, but that is a different
operation (air ambulance).

Any particular reason for multiple terms other than different
organizations marching to different (possibly politically correct)
drummers?

I'm with Angel Flight NE, and I use "Angel Flight" as my call sign, file IFR
using "NGF
6SR" instead of "N466SR" .
