Wow, B737Dvr, a little bitter?

Yes, this place isn't what it used to be, but it wasn't Pace management that brought it down, it was the people in charge of Hooters. Since Hooters has shut down, this place has struggled to turn itself around and remain afloat.

Yeah we all wish we could be flying newer equipment, getting better pay and more respect from management, but at least Pace is growing again and there is finally some room for advancement again. Shut this place down? Hell no! It's how I make a living. Pace has a lot of potential - what with ETOPS, DOD, and almost world wide approval. I'm hoping that a new buyer will infuse some cash into this operation to make it a descent place to hang your hat for a while.

I am not bitter, just very disapointed in hooters as well as pace management for turning a lot of potential into needing a cash infusion for survival and relevance.

Hoping for a new buyer? Please tell me that you aren't still waiting for that "announcement on Monday". Are you aware of the economy? Cash infusion would be a tall order during an economic boom for a place with no real viable business plan, model or direction other than bottom feeding. A cash infusion during this economy for the above mentioned company would resemble a roll of the dice on "red" at one of the dirt bag casino gambling junkets that Pace seems to specialize in.

I hate to write all this, since I had a great time at Pace with alot of great people. However, what I hate more is that Pace management seems to have not changed its treatment of people while running the company into a dismal holding pattern waiting for angel investments that will never come.

The people on the line is what will make a difference in a company, as long as management treats the line troops like they are expendable, they will never get it.

Best of luck finding something asap for those of you still there, please don't continue to standby for that "announcement on Monday".

Our POI said he isn't going to look at the new 767 until Pace decides to put it on the certificate...

Is there really supposed to be an announcement on Friday? Was anything said at the Christmas party on Saturday?

We hired 4 F/O's in March. Picked up a little extra flying for Direct Air on our 737 fleet and flying the Oakland A's with the 756 fleet. Other than that, there are lots of rumours floating around.
