Like at any airline there is the GOOD, the BAD, and the UGLY.....avmd80plt makes it sound like ALL roses...and that is probably not true...AV has a history of poor CRM...and infamous for the 707 in JFK, the 747 in MAD, and a few 727's. the pilot union has ALOT to be desired....and for several reasons MANY AV pilots have quit to come work at US-based airlines or Emirates like A...I also work at a legacy and have run into 4 ex-av pilots....I have heard COPA will hire USA pilots...mostly ex-continental...737typed.
