before Pace officially closed the door. The company did not send out W-2 forms to employees and the trustee said he doubted if "anything could be obtained".
Just my two cents

Yeah, thanks for that info.. my last airline failed while I was there and that's exactly what they did... letters, printouts, copies, etc.. The problem with this one is that it went under over a year after I left the property... and as of today, I am in touch with a couple of line pilots only...
In a nutshell... my question is this.. What do PRIA or other HR 10 year background checkers do if they CANNOT reach an employer due to non-existence? Just take your word for it?
