Medical
The initial medical is much stricter than the FAA Class I. All the usual stuff, but add in EKG, blood test and brain scan. After the initial your recurrent is the same as that required by the FAA.

Thanks lifemaster,
I'm used to that as I'm doing all except the brain scan for any recurrent where I live. However, I'm more concerned about this f..ing colour blindness. I can't imagine moving there without knowing if I can get it unrestricted overthere. It appears that they request FAA Class 1 only as there reference, so I guess if I get my FAA Class 1 without restriction, it will be ok colour-wise at least.

Agree with Peter
I will verify everything that Peter has said. Absolutely true. Can't say it was the worst decision coming here, but it's up there. Bad pay, Bad Schedules, Bad benefits, and although I don't have many problems with the flights crews per se, the Panamanian culture as a whole is about as rude and unwelcoming as they come.
At the moment they have more people leaving than coming in (due to the fantastic conditions), creating a shortage where they have canceled ALL vacations (in there words it's just reassigned to next year) through the end of the year, however, they keep trying to expand the operation. Very poor planning.

My 2 cents
Current FO on the Ng here and here's is what I can say.
New and well maintained aircraft , lots or routes for experience in your pocket.
Pay is VERY LOW as in Master Warning LOW.
Yes you have to spend money on certificates , uniform and pay to the union is mandatory by law. Vacations are being withdrawn due to the mess "lack of pilots" that scheduling makes. According to union the vacations can't be postponed unless the pilot agrees... I did not and still we're withdrawn. Training is ... Well...
Good luck

No answer
On July 22 I received an email requesting some documents. I sent and until the moment got no answer. Does anybody know if this is normal?
I had heard that after the submission of documents, a recruiter sent an email to say that a file was being created. it is true?

I applied in early July and forwarded all requested documents end of July. No response yet.

When you sent the requested documents?
How long after sending the requested documents they invited you for the interview? Days, weeks?
When you sent the documents you received any email confirming the receipt?
Tanks!
