I was there for almost 2 years and had a blast. Pay, benefits, etc sucked but the folks you work with were top notch. The chief pilot at the time was Bruce Foster and I still think he's one of the best guys out there. No BS from him and he’ll back you up if you're ever in trouble.
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!
