PACE employees
 

Ditto. PACE crews - (includes all fron the cockpit to cabin to mx) and most office people were the most awesome and fun co-workers and they will be greatly missed. My thoughts from ATL, ex PACE 73 driver.

Well that explains the "We might get bought by ABX" rumor.

I Fly that plane...Well I did.I was just furloughed...That is a 767 owned by Marc Cuban and his partner martin Woodall. We also have a 757 painted in teh same color scheme mainly to fly the dallas mavericks.

yup pace is out of business...Everyone is furloughed without attachment and we the CEO owes us all 5 weeks worth of pay...We most likely wont be getting our money... I guess thats life

I hope you find some more to fly soon. Good Luck

Hey,
Our insurance was finally officially cancelled without the required 45 day notice. Don't go to the doc 'cause it won't be covered. Criminal charges for BR, but who cares, your still screwed if you need the doc. Please contact MR. Foss to get your name on the list.

PACE UPDATE:
At 6:30 pm on 09/18/2009 I was notified verbally by phone from a BCBSNC Representative that the PACE Airlines Group Health Insurance Plan was Terminated. The wire transfer promised by William Rodgers never was completed by Rodgers as promised by the end of today. They actually gave him an extra day to complete this transaction.
Please be aware this was verbally communicated to me and I expect to see this in writing early next week before I considered it Official from BCBS.

I would ask that all PACE employees gather any BCBS documents that they have in their possession that show any and all denied/pending claims for from August 1st 2009 through Current Date and wait for further instructions.

The NC Dept of Insurance Investigation will require having you fill out a statement form, and for us to do some work in totaling your outstanding denied or pending claims. The statement form will be a notarized document basically stating that you were not notified verbally or in writing 45 days prior to cancellation. It also states that you as the employee were making premium payments that were being deducted from your paycheck.

I will be re-contacting you by email when I have further information.

****Again, please remember this was a verbally communicated to me over the phone and I expect to have written confirmation hopefully on Monday or Tuesday.

I wanted to get this out due to some of you contacting me about medical appointments for early next week.

I have about 43 employees on this distribution list. If you know of someone not receiving this please have them send me an email on Monday and I will add them to the distribution list.

An email response is not required to this email notification. I will send another notice when I have more information or an official BCBS letter of termination in hand.

Thank you!

Pace Airlines CEO William Rogers arrested in the GSO airport.

Wow, amazing... I wouldn't mind if Tilton, Orrenstein and even some of the "old guard" airline-raider crooks like Lorenzo would follow his suit...

Something to do with the NC Dept of Labor or NC Insurance Commision investigations?

The owner of Winston-Salem based Pace Airlines was arrested and charged with failing to pay group health insurance premiums, a state official announced today.

Investigators arrested Rodgers at Piedmont Triad International Airport on Tuesday afternoon. He was taken to the Forsyth County Magistrate’s office for processing.

Additional charges are pending, according to the press release.
