Anything new on the operation? Last I read there were supposed to be 74's and maybe some more 75's and 73's?

I don't think the buyout ever happened. I've seen a few of the old -200's in Orlando, and also seen the -300 in south Texas, but that's about it.

Any good news going on over there?

I heard today that Pace was sold recently. The perosn who was to have been one of the investors is someone I know. I am still checking.....

they've been saying sold for over 1.5 years now. the place sux. scheduling sux. ther's no future there. the flight dept is in the worst state ever. they can't train guys for currency because they want you on your day off. they're short and they want you to work on your days off. just stay somewhere two weeks and enjoy 24 to 48 hours then go back again for more. i'll leaving as fast as i can get another job. many more with me.

The paperwork will be filed on October 2. While I do not know the name of the group, on of the buyers is named Kunkle, a former USAirways pilot.

Are you sure about this Oct. 2 deal? Have not heard anything.

 

[climbhappy]

we've been hearing the paperwork ws done. for about two years now. 3 blown deals later....

they do have themavericks 767 in the hangar...suppose to do proving runs now.

i hear we just got an old skyking 200 from gold that was so "written up" they just didn't want to fix it anymore..

Headline news! Pace has been sold! 30 747-400's on order along with 25 767-200's all to be delivered next week. Captain pay soon to be in the high six figures, FO's in the hight 5 figures. See exotic remote destinations like Tunica MS!

It's a dead and rotting dog. Up the creek without an oar or a boat. Only a retro design life preserver off a 737-200

sadly, i have to go to denver tomorrw to train on the sp77 autopilot to fly the cavs old plane. hope to be gone soon.

 

[climbhappy]

pace has one 767 on ramp..supppose to get 2 more

hear we got a contract out of miami or is it mijambi?

2 more to come...will they hire off the street and F the 37 guys remains to be seen?

 

[EatinRamen]

Did we get bought yet? Some people were saying it was supposed to happen on the 18th. Of course no news from the company.

 

[surfbas]

Rumor is the 767 will go out to bid pto people who have been in with the company a year. So the last newhire class will be SOL. Then the rest will be hired off the street. No word on the sale.

747, 757, 767's?????????

Now what would a world-class management team at Pace Airlines want with these old dinosaurs?

These guys are at the cutting edge of global business! The only airplane that is right for them is the SSBJ that doesn't even exist yet! They have LOI's signed for 50 of them!

Nothing like taking an airline from 22 aircraft with healthy contracts, grand potential, tons of experienced people and running it into the ground with 737-2/3/4 as well as 757's!

Can anyone imagine what they can do with SSBJ's?

The best thing they can do for the name is to just call it a day respectfully with everyone at home.....I just hope that those that are left don't find out about a shutdown while on a layover somewhere with no hopes of how to get back home.

What a sad joke upper management there is.....pathetic.
