They flew (and still are?) many different charter flights, sports team contracts and semi-scheduled operations such as HOOTERSair, Vacation Express, etc.
Crappy benefits, great folks to work with.

AV80R, thanks for the reply. a military friend is looking for work. would anyone here have more info on pace? good or bad. the web site appears to be out of date. would you recommend the place or is it another bottom-feeder outfit? if it's good... who do you contact? thanks

Some people have used the term 'bottom-feeder' when describing Pace and when it comes to pay and benefits I guess it might be true. From memory - first year pay ~30K and then it goes up by 1K a year or so for FOs; Captains I think made 65K+ but this was a while ago and I'm not sure anymore.
However, when it comes to my overall satisfaction of working there I couldn't disagree more because I had a blast while working there - but I always knew I wasn't going to retire there. I merely wanted to hang my hat there for a while. If you know that before you apply your expectations will be more realistic.
I'm not sure whom to contact anymore - I'd say mail them a hard copy of your resume to the address below - from their website - (also email them the same information) and then call the number a few days later. Ask to be connected to the chief pilot or someone in the HR department. Maybe someone who's there right now will chip in later? Good luck to you!
