A type rating is not required and there is no training bond. The people that I know there are captains, so don't quote me on FO pay. I have heard from them that around $1600 during training and somewhere around $4000 a month once online.

They want to point a gun to your head.....don't fall for it.
As far as the guy with no jet time.....they will never hire you. They can hire all the low time Panamanian kids they want, what they are desperate for is Captains with the 1000 PIC Jet time. Just they way it is....you would be better off at a USA regional anyway.

I had about 6-7K in my hand at the end of the month, in training I was making around 5K,,,,you get pay from day one..
This pay is very substandard for a 737NG capt.

Again, the information that I have on pay is third hand. The captains that I know said they have no contract. That could mean that they were presented with one and did not sign it, found another way around it or there never was one. I have personally spoke with an FO who is going through the immigration process at this time. From the US and has only 65 hours SIC in a turboprop.

However I believe they are running out of Panamainian kids and are looking at foreign FOs.
