ATlineholder,
I'm presently working at COPA. We have great equipment, top of the line maintenance, and you'll be flying some very interesting routes. Currently we are hiring about 10-15 american captains, mainly from Southwest and Continental, a month. It's a great place to work, you just have to remember you're gonna be in a different country working by their rules, and american efficiency isn't exactly one of their selling points. On the downside the pay sucks, and doesn't really compare to US carriers, probably due to the fact that Panama is a pretty cheap place to live. On the bright side there are incredibly good looking F/A's and they all are young
I recommend you tidy up on your Spanish, VNAV and VSD skills, since thats been the major problem with foreign captains.
Best of luck,
