They have about 20-40 Panamanian flight students on schedule for entry as FOs. They are sourced directly from their flight school. The school has about ninety students spread around all license courses, with a group that began training on October. The ones that had finished flight school were previously on pause during the pandemic, but on November 1st a first group of eleven just started Initial 737 Ground School. There is a job posting now on their webpage for Panamanian AAC License holders. These external positions might begin the process on Q1 next year if predictions and passenger flight demand stay the same or increases.

Most furloughed pilots have been slowly coming back. There are some FOs still pending for reinstitution, but it is a minority group now.
