Well, Pan Am is called Boston Maine Airways now. In Oct 04' they laid off their ALPA represented flight crews and shutdown for several months in an attempt to restructure as a nonunion airline. They started back up last June to fly from PSM to BDL to Newburg NY to Columbus OH to ST Petes FL. That lasted a few months then they sut down again and only recently started flying out of their SFB hub to ATL and the caribbean. They still fly their J31s PSM to BED to Trenton NJ. There was some sketchy things going on there. For example they took their J31 flight crews and pushed them up to 727's. Which I heard is a big jump for two people that have never flown anything bigger than a Jetstream. Some maintenance issues with the planes. The 727's always broke. If your thinking of going there I wouldn't reccommend it. I worked ramp and got laid off when the shut the Pan AM portion down in 04' I was trying to work my up to the Jetstreams but I was too concerned over blacklists with the union pilots. It was pretty bad at the end with Manuels going missing from the airplanes. They had to raise the air stairs and lock them so people were not allowed on the plane. It was changable, one day everything was great they were going to keep their crews and next mechanics are getting laid off or quitting and it was a real mess. So if you go there good luck..
