We have an FO who was a CA at COPA. he commuted from Florida. The QOL was so much better here that it was worth it for him, even on first year ASA FO pay. By year 2 pay there wasn't even a question, and he is hispanic and was a Captain. Not to say it wouldn't or couldn't work out, but it probably won't be easy. Panama does not have to adhere to 117, so COPA still does 8 hour international overnights. Be careful.
