Well, now Copa Airlines is following the same path as Gulfstream Airlines. What some people call Pay for a Job option is now available and ready to go in Latin America with Copa Airlines. ALL YOU NEED IS CASMELI AND $41,500 and you are set for a right seat job on a E190 or B737NG. Great modern fleet by the way.

American flyers will be in charge of some primary training and selection process.

It is not only for Panama citizens so yeah you have an option if you were intrested and has the cash.

ohhhhhhhhhh well

Here is a link....in spanish though.

It seems during training you get paid $600 a month and and $3500 a month (that includes 800 bucks housing for foreign pilots) for 60 hours a month.

Enjoy.........

Wow such an opportunity-become hated by seasoned pilots not just domestically, but internationally! Man, wheres the loan officer when you need em!?!

They did this a few years ago with a pseudo program with Iberia.

Tango, congrats on your CFI ride! I was at the college to fly the Elite for some approaches and heard from Diane. Good luck going back to Costa Rica. I'm starting my CFI when i get back from germany.
