DEC Capt'n Interview is pretty straight forward, sim, medical, and interview. If you have 1000+ PIC Turbojet you are more then qualified. Not sure what the FO interview entails.....

So going through Copa's benefits summary...
1) They say they will pay for all legal paperwork required to obtain your work visa for Panama up to $2500, above that its pilot's responsibility. Does anybody know if this is enough to cover the full expense? How much does the candidate end up paying for this out of pocket?
2) Im also reading that first officers will have to convert their commercial license to the Panamanian equivalent. They quote the employee must cover that expense of approximately $2500 out of his own pocket. Am I reading that correctly? The applicant has to pay its own written test + checkride in order to obtain their Panamanian license?
Sounds like a solid pile of BS to me, I must be reading it wrong...

When I was down there COPA paid for the visa. I was hired as a DEC. I am not sure about the F/O's but it seems to me that I remember one of my FO's telling me he had to cough up $2500 in fee's to pay for his checkride in a Piper twin.
I did have to pay a lot of stupid little fee's for the "Panama" ATP written and various other BS fee's. I think they stick it to the FO's even harder!
YMMV.

Scroll down all of about nine threads in Foreign and READ THE OTHER THREAD. Do 15 seconds of research. Jeez.
The other thread has LOTS of great info.
Further, COPA is at every job fair imaginable. That should tell you something.

Guys and gals are being invited to work in Panama. But they have to pay for their expenses in getting set up. How many of you have been invited to a friend's house for the weekend and wew asked to pay for utilities, food, or maid service. Booze I can understand.
