250kts is spot on. I interviewed a year ago. Very friendly in HR the sim ride guys r really nice bunch.
I have a friend there now said it took 8 months for an Panamanian Background ck. Yes 8 months.
Confronted a captain in the PTY airport on the return home. He said as a 73 capt. you will put $4,000 in pockit a month. Could be different now, but not likely much. No line bidding, schedule comes out about 28th of the month. You get 6 days off a month.
Remember if you spend 1 day in the states a year you will pay income tax in the states plus income tax in Panama.
