That sounds like not a lot of flying in a month.
20% is a reasonable tax rate. But are you paid in USD? I've heard you use USDs.
What's the price of a 2 bdrm villa out of curiosity?

A word to the young and restless Panamanian pilot.
Locals need to support their national carrier and understand their desire to achieve a command is understandable by the expat, but foolhardy without the proper preparation and experience is likely a disaster waiting to happen. Be patient. Get your experience alongside experienced Captains from wherever they may hail. You will have much to gain and help Copa in return. They will be a strong and viable carrier in the years ahead from which you can build a career and a future.
Young, inexperienced, and impatient individuals have accidents and accidents can spell the end for any rising star airline. Including Copa.
Be careful what you wish for.

A young bull standing atop a hill overlooking a herd of cows said to the old bull beside him, "Why don't we run down there and screw us a cow?"
To which the old bull replied, "Why don't we walk down and screw them all?"

You can also teach the expats in return.
