Default Copa Airlines

Long time 135/91 pilot and don't keep up with any airlines. So what do y'all know about Copa, they're hiring and I thought I might upgrade somewhat soon because of my experience after I got some 121 time and time with the company.

Thanks

if you are a single guy and want to move to panama it might be a good move. The schedules arent great, you pretty much have to do whatever they say, no control over your own schedule or days off, they dont really honor senority down there. Pay isnt that great either. I recommend doing it for a few years to get some experience and then come back to the US because the hiring will only pickup here in the US in the coming years. So, again if your single, like panama, like the latin ladies then give it a try for a few years... just what i have heard from people i know there. If anyone else has anything else to add to that please chime in

Cost of living in Panama city has basically doubled in the last ten years. Very expensive housing, other than that, single guys paradise.

You would have to move. It's illegal in the States.
