Pace Airlines (Winston-Salem) yesterday (September 11) laid off its remaining employees and suspended all operations. This represents the second major employee job cut this week. 175-215 employees were let go on Tuesday. The company is currently under investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor for alleged non-payment of employees and has been promising to pay its employees for all deferred payments.
