Anybody knows what are their mins?, initial salary?, would 1 or 2 years in these companies count toward a US job down the road?.....any inside info about the companies?...how is the life in Costa Rica or Panama?

Thanks

Your best bet is pprune. I dont think you have to be a citizen of panama, but the rest sounds about right. Also I believe first year pay for 737 FO is $1500/month guarantee.

At COPA you can directly apply through the web site.

At TACA you can send your resumes only through people you know from the inside.
PM and send me your info
