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
